Statistical continuous speech recognizer

Closed weights Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) April 1976

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.

What it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Speech
Task
Speech recognition (ASR)

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Training data
12,000 tokens

800 sentences, counting 15 words per sentence gives 12000 words "All the results given are for a training set of 800 sentences and a test set of 100 sentences"

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

Statistical continuous speech recognizer was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in United States of America, in April 1976. It comes out of academia.

It works in Speech, and is recorded as doing speech recognition (ASR).

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

How it was trained

It was trained on about 12,000 tokens of text.

Answers

Statistical continuous speech recognizer — common questions

01

Is Statistical continuous speech recognizer open source?

The licensing for Statistical continuous speech recognizer was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

02

How many parameters does Statistical continuous speech recognizer have?

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

03

Who created Statistical continuous speech recognizer?

Statistical continuous speech recognizer was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

04

When was Statistical continuous speech recognizer released?

Statistical continuous speech recognizer was published in April 1976. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

05

What is Statistical continuous speech recognizer used for?

Statistical continuous speech recognizer works in Speech, and is recorded as handling speech recognition (ASR). These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

What GPU do I need to run Statistical continuous speech recognizer?

None. Statistical continuous speech recognizer 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.

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.
