Deep CNN + COTS

Closed weights IEEE 5M parameters July 2015

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.

What the numbers mean

Background

Deep CNN + COTS was published by IEEE, in Multinational, in July 2015. industry is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing face recognition.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

Training and provenance

Around 494,414 tokens went into training it.

Its inclusion criterion is sOTA improvement.

Answers

Deep CNN + COTS — common questions

01

What is Deep CNN + COTS used for?

Deep CNN + COTS works in Vision, and is recorded as handling face recognition. 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.

02

What GPU do I need to run Deep CNN + COTS?

None. Deep CNN + COTS 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.

03

Is Deep CNN + COTS open source?

No. Deep CNN + COTS has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does Deep CNN + COTS have?

Deep CNN + COTS has 5M parameters. Taken from Table 1 of https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.01722 which uses the same architecture. 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.

05

Who created Deep CNN + COTS?

Deep CNN + COTS was published by IEEE, based in Multinational, categorised as industry.

06

When was Deep CNN + COTS released?

Deep CNN + COTS was published in July 2015. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

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.
