What is recorded here?
Reparameterized neuron weight vectors by a scalar norm and normalized direction, deriving gradients and studying optimization without minibatch-dependent weight normalization.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
Inspired by batch normalization and earlier reparameterization methods. Normalizes parameters, not guaranteed zero-mean/unit-variance activations; data-dependent initialization and a mean-only batch-normalization variant are separate components. Reported optimization improvements are not a universal Hessian-conditioning or convergence theorem.
