Segmental RNN
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 the numbers mean
Where it came from
Segmental RNN was published by University of Edinburgh,Carnegie Mellon University (CMU),University of Washington, in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in June 2016. It comes out of academia,Academia,Academia.
It works in Speech, and is recorded as doing speech recognition (ASR).
Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.
Training and provenance
It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.
Answers
Segmental RNN — common questions
Who created Segmental RNN?
Segmental RNN was published by University of Edinburgh,Carnegie Mellon University (CMU),University of Washington, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as academia,Academia,Academia.
When was Segmental RNN released?
Segmental RNN was published in June 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.
What is Segmental RNN used for?
Segmental RNN works in Speech, and is recorded as handling speech recognition (ASR). A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.
What GPU do I need to run Segmental RNN?
None. Segmental RNN 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.
Is Segmental RNN open source?
No. Segmental RNN has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does Segmental RNN have?
No parameter count has been published for Segmental RNN, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
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.
