Task: Summarization
Input (English): We introduce a new normalization technique that exhibits the fast convergence properties of batch normalization using a transformation of layer weights instead of layer outputs. The proposed technique keeps the contribution of positive and negative weights to the layer output in equilibrium. We validate our method on a set of standard benchmarks including CIFAR-10/100, SVHN and ILSVRC 2012 ImageNet.
Output (English): This manuscript introduces a new layer-wise transform, EquiNorm, to improve upon batch normalization that does not modify the inputs to the layers but rather the layer weights.
