Deep Boltzmann Machines

Closed weights University of Toronto April 2009

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.

What the numbers mean

About this model

Deep Boltzmann Machines was published by University of Toronto, in Canada, in April 2009. The organisation is categorised as academia.

It works in Other, 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.

Training and provenance

It was trained on about 60,000 tokens of text.

Answers

Deep Boltzmann Machines — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run Deep Boltzmann Machines?

None. Deep Boltzmann Machines 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 Deep Boltzmann Machines open source?

The licensing for Deep Boltzmann Machines 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 Deep Boltzmann Machines have?

No parameter count has been published for Deep Boltzmann Machines, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

04

Who created Deep Boltzmann Machines?

Deep Boltzmann Machines was published by University of Toronto, based in Canada, categorised as academia.

05

When was Deep Boltzmann Machines released?

Deep Boltzmann Machines was published in April 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.

06

What is Deep Boltzmann Machines used for?

Deep Boltzmann Machines works in Other, 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.
