Optimized Single-layer Net

Closed weights University of Michigan,Stanford University April 2011

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

What this model is

Optimized Single-layer Net was published by University of Michigan,Stanford University, in United States of America, in April 2011. academia,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing image classification.

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

What went into building it

The training set ran to roughly 50,000 tokens.

Answers

Optimized Single-layer Net — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run Optimized Single-layer Net?

None. Optimized Single-layer Net 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.

02

Is Optimized Single-layer Net open source?

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

03

How many parameters does Optimized Single-layer Net have?

No parameter count has been published for Optimized Single-layer Net, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

04

Who created Optimized Single-layer Net?

Optimized Single-layer Net was published by University of Michigan,Stanford University, based in United States of America, categorised as academia,Academia.

05

When was Optimized Single-layer Net released?

Optimized Single-layer Net was published in April 2011. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

06

What is Optimized Single-layer Net used for?

Optimized Single-layer Net works in Vision, and is recorded as handling image classification. 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.

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.
