node2vec

Closed weights Stanford University 1.3M parameters July 2016

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Mathematics
Task
Pattern classification

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Parameters
1.3M

If a graph has 10,000 nodes and the embeddings are 128-dimensional, then the total number of parameters would be: P=10,000×128=1,280,000

What the numbers mean

Background

node2vec was published by Stanford University, in United States of America, in July 2016. It comes out of academia.

It works in Mathematics, and is recorded as doing pattern classification.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Answers

node2vec — common questions

01

Who created node2vec?

node2vec was published by Stanford University, based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

02

When was node2vec released?

node2vec was published in July 2016. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

03

What is node2vec used for?

node2vec works in Mathematics, and is recorded as handling pattern classification. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

04

What GPU do I need to run node2vec?

None. node2vec is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

05

Is node2vec open source?

The licensing for node2vec was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

06

How many parameters does node2vec have?

node2vec has 1.3M parameters. If a graph has 10,000 nodes and the embeddings are 128-dimensional, then the total number of parameters would be: P=10,000×128=1,280,000. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
