brainpy.nn.nodes.ANN.LayerNorm

class brainpy.nn.nodes.ANN.LayerNorm(epsilon=1e-05, use_bias=True, use_scale=True, beta_init=ZeroInit, gamma_init=OneInit(value=1.0), axis=None, **kwargs)

Layer normalization (https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06450).

This layer normalizes data on each example, independently of the batch. More specifically, it normalizes data of shape (b, d1, d2, …, c) on the axes of the data dimensions and the channel (d1, d2, …, c). Different from batch normalization, gamma and beta are assigned to each position (elementwise operation) instead of the whole channel. If users want to assign a single gamma and beta to a whole example/whole channel, please use GroupNorm/ InstanceNorm.

Parameters

• epsilon (float) – a value added to the denominator for numerical stability. Default: 1e-5

• use_bias (bool) – whether to translate data in refactoring. Default: True

• use_scale (bool) – whether to scale data in refactoring. Default: True

• beta_init (brainpy.init.Initializer) – an initializer generating the original translation matrix

• gamma_init (brainpy.init.Initializer) – an initializer generating the original scaling matrix

• axis (int, tuple, list) – axes where the data will be normalized. The batch axis should be excluded.
