# Batch Norm

**Paper**: <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1502.03167.pdf>

**Batch Normalization transformation:**&#x20;

![](/files/-MZJknVPNye7idJ_IvjN)

**Training:**

when training update gamma and beta using batch samples and also update running mean E\[x], running variance Var\[x]

When inference, use running mean E\[x], running variance Var\[x], rather than sample mean and sample var, to compute output

**Gradient Computation** during training and updating var, mean

**Coding in pytorch**

```
import torch
from torch import nn
class BatchNorm(nn.Module):
  def __init__(self, in_dim, out_dim):
    super(BatchNorm, self).__init__()
    self.linear = nn.Linear(in_dim, out_dim,bias=True)
    self.in_dim, self.out_dim = in_dim, out_dim
    self.eps = 0.001
    self.momentum = 0.95
    self.running_mean = torch.zeros(in_dim,dtype=torch.float32)
    self.running_var = torch.zeros(in_dim,dtype=torch.float32)
    pass
  def forward(self,x, inference = False):
    #normalize x according to batch 
    mu = torch.mean(x, dim=0, keepdim=True) # compute along the first dim: num of samples
    var = torch.var(x, dim=0,keepdim=True)  # compute along the first dim: num of samples
    
    #print("mean: ", mu)
    #print("var: ", var)
    if not inference:
      # when training, update running mean and var
      # update x with sample mean
      self.running_mean = self.momentum*self.running_mean + (1-self.momentum)*mu # update running mean with sample mean
      self.running_var = self.momentum*self.running_var + (1-self.momentum)*var # update running var with sample var
      x = (x-mu)/torch.sqrt(var + self.eps)
    else:
      # when inference, use estimated running mean, var
      x = (x - self.running_mean)/ torch.sqrt(self.running_var + self.eps)
    # linear projection to rescale and enhance feature
    out = self.linear(x)
    return out
x = torch.tensor([[1.1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15],[21,22,23,24,25,26]], dtype= torch.float32)
x2 = torch.rand((3, 6),dtype = torch.float)
bn = BatchNorm(in_dim=6, out_dim=3)

bn(x), bn(x2),bn(x, inference=True)

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wenkangwei.gitbook.io/leetcode-notes/deep-learning/deeplearning-basic/batch-norm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
