MV-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.

We initialize all word vectors x ∈ Rn with pre-trained 50-dimensional word vectors from the unsupervised model of Collobert and Weston (2008). [...] Every word is also associated with a matrix X.

What the numbers mean
Background
MV-RNN was published by Stanford University, in United States of America, in July 2012. academia is the category the publisher falls under.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing text classification.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
Training and provenance
It was trained on about 10,000 tokens of text.
Answers
MV-RNN — common questions
Who created MV-RNN?
MV-RNN was published by Stanford University, based in United States of America, categorised as academia.
When was MV-RNN released?
MV-RNN was published in July 2012. 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 MV-RNN used for?
MV-RNN works in Language, and is recorded as handling text classification. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run MV-RNN?
None. MV-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 MV-RNN open source?
The licensing for MV-RNN was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
How many parameters does MV-RNN have?
MV-RNN has 3.5M parameters. "We represent a word as both a continuous vector and a matrix of parameters. We initialize all word vectors x ∈ Rn with pre-trained 50-dimensional word vectors from the unsupervised model of Collobert and Weston (2008). [...] Every word is also associated with a matrix X. [...] If the vectors have dimensionality n, then each word’s matrix has dimensionality X ∈ Rn×n." "We propose the following combination function which is input dependent: p = fA,B(a, b) = f(Ba, Ab) = g(W x (Ba Ab)) ,(2) where A, B are matrices for single words, the global W ∈ Rn×2n is a matrix that maps both transformed words back into the same n-dimensional space." "For computing nonterminal phrase matrices, we define the function P = fM(A, B) = WMA, B, (3) where WM ∈ Rn×2n, so P ∈ Rn×n just like each input matrix." "If every word is represented by an n-dimensional vector and additionally by an n × n matrix, the dimensionality of the whole model may become too large with commonly used vector sizes of n = 100. In order to reduce the number of parameters, we represent word matrices by the following low-rank plus diagonal approximation: A = UV + diag(a), (5) where U ∈ Rn×r, V ∈ Rr×n, a ∈ Rnand we set the rank for all experiments to r = 3." "We train these representations by adding on top of each parent node a simple softmax classifier to predict a class distribution over, e.g., sentiment or relationship classes: d(p) = softmax(Wlabelp). If there are K labels, then d ∈ RK is a K-dimensional multinomial distribution" In total there are V*(n+n*r + r*n) + n*2n + n*2n + (n+1)*k parameters, where n is the vector dimension, r is the low-rank decomposition dimension, V is the vocabulary size and k is the number of classes. In the experiments we have that n=50, r=3, k=? and V=?. I'm guesstimating k=5 and V=10k. 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.

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.
