Answers

Polarity Classifier — common questions

01

Polarity Classifier— 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.

02

Polarity Classifier— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of text classification. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

03

Polarity Classifier— 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.

04

Polarity Classifier— 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.

05

Polarity Classifier— 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.
