Answers
BellKor 2007 — common questions
BellKor 2007— is it open source?
The licensing was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
BellKor 2007— how many parameters does it have?
No parameter count has been published for it, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
BellKor 2007— who created it?
It was published by AT&T, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry.
BellKor 2007— when was it released?
It was published in September 2009. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
BellKor 2007— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Recommendation, and is recorded as handling the task of movie ratings. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
BellKor 2007— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This 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.
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.
