Introduced by Thomas Bachlechner et al. in ReZero is All You Need: Fast Convergence at Large Depth

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

ReZero is a normalization approach that dynamically facilitates well-behaved gradients and arbitrarily deep signal propagation. The idea is simple: ReZero initializes each layer to perform the identity operation. For each layer, a residual connection is introduced for the input signal x and one trainable parameter α that modulates the non-trivial transformation of a layer F(𝐱):

𝐱ᵢ₊₁=𝐱ᵢ+αᵢ F(𝐱ᵢ)

where α=0 at the beginning of training. Initially the gradients for all parameters defining F vanish, but dynamically evolve to suitable values during initial stages of training. The architecture is illustrated in the Figure.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (7 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).
