Bayesian object categorizer
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
Bayesian object categorizer was published by California Institute of Technology,University of Oxford, in the country recorded as United States of America, during October 2003. It comes out of an organisation categorised as academia,Academia.
It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of image classification.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
Training and provenance
Training consumed a corpus of around 20 tokens of text.
Answers
Bayesian object categorizer — common questions
Bayesian object categorizer— when was it released?
It was published in October 2003. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
Bayesian object categorizer— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as handling the task of 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.
Bayesian object categorizer— 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.
Bayesian object categorizer— 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.
Bayesian object categorizer— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 0.1K. citation from section 2.1: In the constellation model, the dimensionality of \theta is large (~ 100). 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.
Bayesian object categorizer— who created it?
It was published by California Institute of Technology,University of Oxford, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia,Academia.
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.
