Weight normalization (WeightNorm) [18] is a technique inspired by BatchNorm that normalizes weight matrices in a neural network, rather than its activations. One example is spectral normalization , which divides weight matrices by their spectral norm .
Weight initialization [ edit ] Kumar suggested that the distribution of initial weights should vary according to activation function used and proposed to initialize the weights in networks with the logistic activation function using a Gaussian distribution with a zero mean and a standard deviation of 3.6/sqrt(N) , where N is the number of ...
Another possible reason for the success of batch normalization is that it decouples the length and direction of the weight vectors and thus facilitates better training. By interpreting batch norm as a reparametrization of weight space, it can be shown that the length and the direction of the weights are separated and can thus be trained separately.
One example would be changing the brightness of an image. Each pixel of an image consists of three values for the brightness of the red (R), green (G) and blue (B) portions of the color. To change the brightness, the R, G and B values are read from memory, a value is added to (or subtracted from) them, and the resulting values are written back ...
A flow-based generative model is a generative model used in machine learning that explicitly models a probability distribution by leveraging normalizing flow, [1] [2] [3] which is a statistical method using the change-of-variable law of probabilities to transform a simple distribution into a complex one.
In the simplest cases, normalization of ratings means adjusting values measured on different scales to a notionally common scale, often prior to averaging. In more complicated cases, normalization may refer to more sophisticated adjustments where the intention is to bring the entire probability distributions of adjusted values into alignment.
The aim is to find non-negative weights such that for all examples, the sign of the weighted combination of the features matches its labels. That is, require that for all . Without loss of generality, assume the total weight is 1 so that they form a distribution.
Diagram showing clarifier example. A simple example can illustrate the concept. Consider the situation in which a slurry is flowing into a settling tank to remove the solids in the tank. Solids are collected at the bottom by means of a conveyor belt partially submerged in the tank, and water exits via an overflow outlet.
