Spatial Pyramid Matching
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
Background
Spatial Pyramid Matching was published by INRIA,University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC),Ecole Normale Supèrieure, in France, in June 2006. The organisation is categorised as academia,Academia,Academia.
It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing image classification.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
What went into building it
Around 3,030 tokens went into training it.
It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: highly cited.
Answers
Spatial Pyramid Matching — common questions
What is Spatial Pyramid Matching used for?
Spatial Pyramid Matching 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.
What GPU do I need to run Spatial Pyramid Matching?
None. Spatial Pyramid Matching 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.
Is Spatial Pyramid Matching open source?
The licensing for Spatial Pyramid Matching was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
How many parameters does Spatial Pyramid Matching have?
No parameter count has been published for Spatial Pyramid Matching, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created Spatial Pyramid Matching?
Spatial Pyramid Matching was published by INRIA,University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC),Ecole Normale Supèrieure, based in France, categorised as academia,Academia,Academia.
When was Spatial Pyramid Matching released?
Spatial Pyramid Matching was published in June 2006. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
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.
