SVD in recommender systems

Closed weights University of Minnesota July 2000

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

Where it came from

SVD in recommender systems was published by University of Minnesota, in United States of America, in July 2000. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Recommendation, and is recorded as doing recommender system.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

What went into building it

Around 30,000 tokens went into training it.

Answers

SVD in recommender systems — common questions

01

Who created SVD in recommender systems?

SVD in recommender systems was published by University of Minnesota, based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

02

When was SVD in recommender systems released?

SVD in recommender systems was published in July 2000. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

03

What is SVD in recommender systems used for?

SVD in recommender systems works in Recommendation, and is recorded as handling recommender system. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

04

What GPU do I need to run SVD in recommender systems?

None. SVD in recommender systems 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.

05

Is SVD in recommender systems open source?

The licensing for SVD in recommender systems was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

06

How many parameters does SVD in recommender systems have?

No parameter count has been published for SVD in recommender systems, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

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.
