Batch Normalization aims to reduce internal covariate shift, and in doing so aims to accelerate the training of deep neural nets. It accomplishes this via a normalization step that fixes the means and variances of layer inputs. Batch Normalization also has a beneficial effect on the gradient flow through the network, by reducing the dependence of gradients on the scale of the parameters or of their initial values. This allows for use of much higher learning rates without the risk of divergence. Furthermore, batch normalization regularizes the model and reduces the need for Dropout.

We apply a batch normalization layer as follows for a minibatch ℬ:

μ_ℬ = 1/m∑ᵐᵢ₌₁xᵢ

σ²_ℬ = 1/m∑ᵐᵢ₌₁(xᵢ-μ_ℬ)²

x̂ᵢ = (xᵢ - μ_ℬ)/(√(σ²_ℬ+ϵ))

yᵢ = γx̂ᵢ + β= BN_(γ, β)(xᵢ)

Where γ and β are learnable parameters.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (6,287 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
