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

What this model is

Perceptron for Large Margin Classification was published by University of California San Diego,Shannon Laboratory,AT&T, in the country recorded as United States of America, during December 1999. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Industry.

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of character recognition (OCR).

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

What went into building it

The training set ran to roughly 60,000 tokens of text.

Answers

Perceptron for Large Margin Classification — common questions

01

Perceptron for Large Margin Classification— who created it?

It was published by University of California San Diego,Shannon Laboratory,AT&T, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.

02

Perceptron for Large Margin Classification— when was it released?

It was published in December 1999. 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

Perceptron for Large Margin Classification— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as handling the task of character recognition (OCR). 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.

04

Perceptron for Large Margin Classification— 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.

05

Perceptron for Large Margin Classification— 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.

06

Perceptron for Large Margin Classification— how many parameters does it have?

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

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.
