Paragraph Vector
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
About this model
Paragraph Vector was published by Google, in United States of America, in May 2014. It comes out of industry.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.
Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.
How it was trained
Around 16,500,000 tokens went into training it.
It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: highly cited.
Answers
Paragraph Vector — common questions
How many parameters does Paragraph Vector have?
Paragraph Vector has 32M parameters. 75000*400+5000*400=32000000 "We learn the word vectors and paragraph vectors using 75,000 training documents" "In PV-DM, the learned vector representations have 400 dimensions for both words and documents" Paragraph embedding of dimension number of paragraphs * embedding size Word embedding of dimension |V|*embedding size Assuming vocabulary of 5000 since results are compared directly to Maas et. al., 2011. 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.
Who created Paragraph Vector?
Paragraph Vector was published by Google, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was Paragraph Vector released?
Paragraph Vector was published in May 2014. 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 Paragraph Vector used for?
Paragraph Vector works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run Paragraph Vector?
None. Paragraph Vector 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 Paragraph Vector open source?
The licensing for Paragraph Vector was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
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.
