Deep Multitask NLP Network
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.

Size
How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.
- Parameters
- 1.5M
- Training data
- 633,000,000 tokens
With a word vector size of 50 and a vocabulary size of 30,000, the embedding matrix has 1,500,000 parameters. There are also some small convolutional and dense layers with far fewer parameters.

What the numbers mean
Where it came from
Deep Multitask NLP Network was published by NEC Laboratories, in the country recorded as United States of America, during July 2008. The publishing organisation is categorised as industry.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
What went into building it
It was trained on a corpus of about 633,000,000 tokens of text.
Its inclusion criterion: highly cited,SOTA improvement.
Answers
Deep Multitask NLP Network — common questions
Deep Multitask NLP Network— 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.
Deep Multitask NLP Network— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 1.5M. With a word vector size of 50 and a vocabulary size of 30,000, the embedding matrix has 1,500,000 parameters. There are also some small convolutional and dense layers with far fewer parameters. 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.
Deep Multitask NLP Network— who created it?
It was published by NEC Laboratories, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry.
Deep Multitask NLP Network— when was it released?
It was published in July 2008. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
Deep Multitask NLP Network— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling. 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.
Deep Multitask NLP Network— 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.
