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 .
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.
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.
Without normalization, the clusters were arranged along the x-axis, since it is the axis with most of variation. After normalization, the clusters are recovered as expected. In machine learning, we can handle various types of data, e.g. audio signals and pixel values for image data, and this data can include multiple dimensions. Feature ...
The parameters of this network have a prior distribution (), which consists of an isotropic Gaussian for each weight and bias, with the variance of the weights scaled inversely with layer width. This network is illustrated in the figure to the right, and described by the following set of equations:
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.
In physics, a mass balance, also called a material balance, is an application of conservation of mass [1] to the analysis of physical systems.By accounting for material entering and leaving a system, mass flows can be identified which might have been unknown, or difficult to measure without this technique.
A second kind of remedies is based on approximating the softmax (during training) with modified loss functions that avoid the calculation of the full normalization factor. [9] These include methods that restrict the normalization sum to a sample of outcomes (e.g. Importance Sampling, Target Sampling).
