Social and content-based classification

Closed weights AT&T,Bell Laboratories,Rutgers University July 1998

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

Social and content-based classification was published by AT&T,Bell Laboratories,Rutgers University, in United States of America, in July 1998. It comes out of industry,Industry,Academia.

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

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Answers

Social and content-based classification — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run Social and content-based classification?

None. Social and content-based classification 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.

02

Is Social and content-based classification open source?

The licensing for Social and content-based classification was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

03

How many parameters does Social and content-based classification have?

No parameter count has been published for Social and content-based classification, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

04

Who created Social and content-based classification?

Social and content-based classification was published by AT&T,Bell Laboratories,Rutgers University, based in United States of America, categorised as industry,Industry,Academia.

05

When was Social and content-based classification released?

Social and content-based classification was published in July 1998. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

06

What is Social and content-based classification used for?

Social and content-based classification works in Recommendation, and is recorded as handling recommender system. 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.

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.
