Context Normalization Layer with Applications

Normalization is a pre-processing step that converts the data into a more usable representation. As part of the deep neural networks (DNNs), the batch normalization (BN) technique uses normalization to address the problem of internal covariate shift. It can be packaged as general modules, which have been extensively integrated into various DNNs, to stabilize and accelerate training, presumably leading to improved generalization. However, the effect of BN is dependent on the mini-batch size and it does not take into account …
