class BatchNormalizationBase(Layer):
  r"""Layer that normalizes its inputs.

  Batch normalization applies a transformation that maintains the mean output
  close to 0 and the output standard deviation close to 1.

  Importantly, batch normalization works differently during training and
  during inference.

  **During training** (i.e. when using `fit()` or when calling the layer/model
  with the argument `training=True`), the layer normalizes its output using
  the mean and standard deviation of the current batch of inputs. That is to
  say, for each channel being normalized, the layer returns
  `gamma * (batch - mean(batch)) / sqrt(var(batch) + epsilon) + beta`, where:

  - `epsilon` is small constant (configurable as part of the constructor
  arguments)
  - `gamma` is a learned scaling factor (initialized as 1), which
  can be disabled by passing `scale=False` to the constructor.
  - `beta` is a learned offset factor (initialized as 0), which
  can be disabled by passing `center=False` to the constructor.

  **During inference** (i.e. when using `evaluate()` or `predict()`) or when
  calling the layer/model with the argument `training=False` (which is the
  default), the layer normalizes its output using a moving average of the
  mean and standard deviation of the batches it has seen during training. That
  is to say, it returns
  `gamma * (batch - self.moving_mean) / sqrt(self.moving_var + epsilon) + beta`.

  `self.moving_mean` and `self.moving_var` are non-trainable variables that
  are updated each time the layer in called in training mode, as such:

  - `moving_mean = moving_mean * momentum + mean(batch) * (1 - momentum)`
  - `moving_var = moving_var * momentum + var(batch) * (1 - momentum)`

  As such, the layer will only normalize its inputs during inference
  *after having been trained on data that has similar statistics as the
  inference data*.

  Args:
    axis: Integer or a list of integers, the axis that should be normalized
      (typically the features axis). For instance, after a `Conv2D` layer with
      `data_format="channels_first"`, set `axis=1` in `BatchNormalization`.
    momentum: Momentum for the moving average.
    epsilon: Small float added to variance to avoid dividing by zero.
    center: If True, add offset of `beta` to normalized tensor. If False, `beta`
      is ignored.
    scale: If True, multiply by `gamma`. If False, `gamma` is not used. When the
      next layer is linear (also e.g. `nn.relu`), this can be disabled since the
      scaling will be done by the next layer.
    beta_initializer: Initializer for the beta weight.
    gamma_initializer: Initializer for the gamma weight.
    moving_mean_initializer: Initializer for the moving mean.
    moving_variance_initializer: Initializer for the moving variance.
    beta_regularizer: Optional regularizer for the beta weight.
    gamma_regularizer: Optional regularizer for the gamma weight.
    beta_constraint: Optional constraint for the beta weight.
    gamma_constraint: Optional constraint for the gamma weight.
    renorm: Whether to use [Batch Renormalization](
      https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.03275). This adds extra variables during
        training. The inference is the same for either value of this parameter.
    renorm_clipping: A dictionary that may map keys 'rmax', 'rmin', 'dmax' to
      scalar `Tensors` used to clip the renorm correction. The correction `(r,
      d)` is used as `corrected_value = normalized_value * r + d`, with `r`
      clipped to [rmin, rmax], and `d` to [-dmax, dmax]. Missing rmax, rmin,
      dmax are set to inf, 0, inf, respectively.
    renorm_momentum: Momentum used to update the moving means and standard
      deviations with renorm. Unlike `momentum`, this affects training and
      should be neither too small (which would add noise) nor too large (which
      would give stale estimates). Note that `momentum` is still applied to get
      the means and variances for inference.
    fused: if `True`, use a faster, fused implementation, or raise a ValueError
      if the fused implementation cannot be used. If `None`, use the faster
      implementation if possible. If False, do not used the fused
      implementation.
      Note that in TensorFlow 1.x, the meaning of `fused=True` is different: if
        `False`, the layer uses the system-recommended implementation.
    trainable: Boolean, if `True` the variables will be marked as trainable.
    virtual_batch_size: An `int`. By default, `virtual_batch_size` is `None`,
      which means batch normalization is performed across the whole batch. When
      `virtual_batch_size` is not `None`, instead perform "Ghost Batch
      Normalization", which creates virtual sub-batches which are each
      normalized separately (with shared gamma, beta, and moving statistics).
      Must divide the actual batch size during execution.
    adjustment: A function taking the `Tensor` containing the (dynamic) shape of
      the input tensor and returning a pair (scale, bias) to apply to the
      normalized values (before gamma and beta), only during training. For
      example, if `axis=-1`,
        `adjustment = lambda shape: (
          tf.random.uniform(shape[-1:], 0.93, 1.07),
          tf.random.uniform(shape[-1:], -0.1, 0.1))` will scale the normalized
            value by up to 7% up or down, then shift the result by up to 0.1
            (with independent scaling and bias for each feature but shared
            across all examples), and finally apply gamma and/or beta. If
            `None`, no adjustment is applied. Cannot be specified if
            virtual_batch_size is specified.

  Call arguments:
    inputs: Input tensor (of any rank).
    training: Python boolean indicating whether the layer should behave in
      training mode or in inference mode.
      - `training=True`: The layer will normalize its inputs using the mean and
        variance of the current batch of inputs.
      - `training=False`: The layer will normalize its inputs using the mean and
        variance of its moving statistics, learned during training.

  Input shape: Arbitrary. Use the keyword argument `input_shape` (tuple of
    integers, does not include the samples axis) when using this layer as the
    first layer in a model.

  Output shape: Same shape as input.

  r"""Normalize and scale inputs or activations synchronously across replicas.

  Applies batch normalization to activations of the previous layer at each batch
  by synchronizing the global batch statistics across all devices that are
  training the model. For specific details about batch normalization please
  refer to the `tf.keras.layers.BatchNormalization` layer docs.

  If this layer is used when using tf.distribute strategy to train models
  across devices/workers, there will be an allreduce call to aggregate batch
  statistics across all replicas at every training step. Without tf.distribute
  strategy, this layer behaves as a regular `tf.keras.layers.BatchNormalization`
  layer.

  Example usage:

  ```python
  strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy()

  with strategy.scope():
    model = tf.keras.Sequential()
    model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(16))
    model.add(tf.keras.layers.experimental.SyncBatchNormalization())
  ```

      set `axis=1` in `BatchNormalization`.
    momentum: Momentum for the moving average.
    epsilon: Small float added to variance to avoid dividing by zero.
    center: If True, add offset of `beta` to normalized tensor.
      If False, `beta` is ignored.
    scale: If True, multiply by `gamma`.
      If False, `gamma` is not used.
      When the next layer is linear (also e.g. `nn.relu`),

  **About setting `layer.trainable = False` on a `BatchNormalization` layer:**

  The meaning of setting `layer.trainable = False` is to freeze the layer,
  i.e. its internal state will not change during training:
  its trainable weights will not be updated
  during `fit()` or `train_on_batch()`, and its state updates will not be run.

  Usually, this does not necessarily mean that the layer is run in inference
  mode (which is normally controlled by the `training` argument that can
  be passed when calling a layer). "Frozen state" and "inference mode"
  are two separate concepts.

  However, in the case of the `BatchNormalization` layer, **setting
  `trainable = False` on the layer means that the layer will be
  subsequently run in inference mode** (meaning that it will use
  the moving mean and the moving variance to normalize the current batch,
  rather than using the mean and variance of the current batch).

  This behavior has been introduced in TensorFlow 2.0, in order
  to enable `layer.trainable = False` to produce the most commonly
  expected behavior in the convnet fine-tuning use case.

  Note that:
    - Setting `trainable` on an model containing other layers will
      recursively set the `trainable` value of all inner layers.
    - If the value of the `trainable`
      attribute is changed after calling `compile()` on a model,
      the new value doesn't take effect for this model
      until `compile()` is called again.

Layer that normalizes its inputs.

Batch normalization applies a transformation that maintains the mean output close to 0 and the output standard deviation close to 1.

Importantly, batch normalization works differently during training and during inference.

During training (i.e. when using fit() or when calling the layer/model with the argument training=True), the layer normalizes its output using the mean and standard deviation of the current batch of inputs. That is to say, for each channel being normalized, the layer returns gamma * (batch - mean(batch)) / sqrt(var(batch) + epsilon) + beta, where:

  • epsilon is small constant (configurable as part of the constructor arguments)
  • gamma is a learned scaling factor (initialized as 1), which can be disabled by passing scale=False to the constructor.
  • beta is a learned offset factor (initialized as 0), which can be disabled by passing center=False to the constructor.

During inference (i.e. when using evaluate() or predict()) or when calling the layer/model with the argument training=False (which is the default), the layer normalizes its output using a moving average of the mean and standard deviation of the batches it has seen during training. That is to say, it returns gamma * (batch - self.moving_mean) / sqrt(self.moving_var + epsilon) + beta.

self.moving_mean and self.moving_var are non-trainable variables that are updated each time the layer in called in training mode, as such:

  • moving_mean = moving_mean * momentum + mean(batch) * (1 - momentum)
  • moving_var = moving_var * momentum + var(batch) * (1 - momentum)

As such, the layer will only normalize its inputs during inference after having been trained on data that has similar statistics as the inference data.

Args

axis
Integer or a list of integers, the axis that should be normalized (typically the features axis). For instance, after a Conv2D layer with data_format="channels_first", set axis=1 in BatchNormalization.
momentum
Momentum for the moving average.
epsilon
Small float added to variance to avoid dividing by zero.
center
If True, add offset of beta to normalized tensor. If False, beta is ignored.
scale
If True, multiply by gamma. If False, gamma is not used. When the next layer is linear (also e.g. nn.relu), this can be disabled since the scaling will be done by the next layer.
beta_initializer
Initializer for the beta weight.
gamma_initializer
Initializer for the gamma weight.
moving_mean_initializer
Initializer for the moving mean.
moving_variance_initializer
Initializer for the moving variance.
beta_regularizer
Optional regularizer for the beta weight.
gamma_regularizer
Optional regularizer for the gamma weight.
beta_constraint
Optional constraint for the beta weight.
gamma_constraint
Optional constraint for the gamma weight.
renorm
Whether to use Batch Renormalization. This adds extra variables during training. The inference is the same for either value of this parameter.
renorm_clipping
A dictionary that may map keys 'rmax', 'rmin', 'dmax' to scalar Tensors used to clip the renorm correction. The correction (r, d)<code> is used as </code>corrected_value = normalized_value * r + d<code>, with </code>r clipped to [rmin, rmax], and d to [-dmax, dmax]. Missing rmax, rmin, dmax are set to inf, 0, inf, respectively.
renorm_momentum
Momentum used to update the moving means and standard deviations with renorm. Unlike momentum, this affects training and should be neither too small (which would add noise) nor too large (which would give stale estimates). Note that momentum is still applied to get the means and variances for inference.
fused
if True, use a faster, fused implementation, or raise a ValueError if the fused implementation cannot be used. If None, use the faster implementation if possible. If False, do not used the fused implementation. Note that in TensorFlow 1.x, the meaning of fused=True is different: if False, the layer uses the system-recommended implementation.
trainable
Boolean, if True the variables will be marked as trainable.
virtual_batch_size
An int. By default, virtual_batch_size is None, which means batch normalization is performed across the whole batch. When virtual_batch_size is not None, instead perform "Ghost Batch Normalization", which creates virtual sub-batches which are each normalized separately (with shared gamma, beta, and moving statistics). Must divide the actual batch size during execution.
adjustment
A function taking the Tensor containing the (dynamic) shape of the input tensor and returning a pair (scale, bias) to apply to the normalized values (before gamma and beta), only during training. For example, if axis=-1, adjustment = lambda shape: ( tf.random.uniform(shape[-1:], 0.93, 1.07), tf.random.uniform(shape[-1:], -0.1, 0.1)) will scale the normalized value by up to 7% up or down, then shift the result by up to 0.1 (with independent scaling and bias for each feature but shared across all examples), and finally apply gamma and/or beta. If None, no adjustment is applied. Cannot be specified if virtual_batch_size is specified.

Call arguments: inputs: Input tensor (of any rank). training: Python boolean indicating whether the layer should behave in training mode or in inference mode. - training=True: The layer will normalize its inputs using the mean and variance of the current batch of inputs. - training=False: The layer will normalize its inputs using the mean and variance of its moving statistics, learned during training.

Input shape: Arbitrary. Use the keyword argument input_shape (tuple of integers, does not include the samples axis) when using this layer as the first layer in a model.

Output shape: Same shape as input.

  r"""Layer that normalizes its inputs.

  Batch normalization applies a transformation that maintains the mean output
  close to 0 and the output standard deviation close to 1.

  Importantly, batch normalization works differently during training and
  during inference.

  **During training** (i.e. when using `fit()` or when calling the layer/model
  with the argument `training=True`), the layer normalizes its output using
  the mean and standard deviation of the current batch of inputs. That is to
  say, for each channel being normalized, the layer returns
  `gamma * (batch - mean(batch)) / sqrt(var(batch) + epsilon) + beta`, where:

  - `epsilon` is small constant (configurable as part of the constructor
  arguments)
  - `gamma` is a learned scaling factor (initialized as 1), which
  can be disabled by passing `scale=False` to the constructor.
  - `beta` is a learned offset factor (initialized as 0), which
  can be disabled by passing `center=False` to the constructor.

  **During inference** (i.e. when using `evaluate()` or `predict()`) or when
  calling the layer/model with the argument `training=False` (which is the
  default), the layer normalizes its output using a moving average of the
  mean and standard deviation of the batches it has seen during training. That
  is to say, it returns
  `gamma * (batch - self.moving_mean) / sqrt(self.moving_var + epsilon) + beta`.

  `self.moving_mean` and `self.moving_var` are non-trainable variables that
  are updated each time the layer in called in training mode, as such:

  - `moving_mean = moving_mean * momentum + mean(batch) * (1 - momentum)`
  - `moving_var = moving_var * momentum + var(batch) * (1 - momentum)`

  As such, the layer will only normalize its inputs during inference
  *after having been trained on data that has similar statistics as the
  inference data*.

  Args:
    axis: Integer or a list of integers, the axis that should be normalized
      (typically the features axis). For instance, after a `Conv2D` layer with
      `data_format="channels_first"`, set `axis=1` in `BatchNormalization`.
    momentum: Momentum for the moving average.
    epsilon: Small float added to variance to avoid dividing by zero.
    center: If True, add offset of `beta` to normalized tensor. If False, `beta`
      is ignored.
    scale: If True, multiply by `gamma`. If False, `gamma` is not used. When the
      next layer is linear (also e.g. `nn.relu`), this can be disabled since the
      scaling will be done by the next layer.

    moving_variance_initializer: Initializer for the moving variance.
    beta_regularizer: Optional regularizer for the beta weight.
    gamma_regularizer: Optional regularizer for the gamma weight.
    beta_constraint: Optional constraint for the beta weight.
    gamma_constraint: Optional constraint for the gamma weight.

      https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.03275). This adds extra variables during

    renorm_clipping: A dictionary that may map keys 'rmax', 'rmin', 'dmax' to
      scalar `Tensors` used to clip the renorm correction. The correction `(r,
      d)` is used as `corrected_value = normalized_value * r + d`, with `r`
      clipped to [rmin, rmax], and `d` to [-dmax, dmax]. Missing rmax, rmin,
      dmax are set to inf, 0, inf, respectively.
    renorm_momentum: Momentum used to update the moving means and standard
      deviations with renorm. Unlike `momentum`, this affects training and
      should be neither too small (which would add noise) nor too large (which
      would give stale estimates). Note that `momentum` is still applied to get
      the means and variances for inference.
    fused: if `True`, use a faster, fused implementation, or raise a ValueError
      if the fused implementation cannot be used. If `None`, use the faster
      implementation if possible. If False, do not used the fused
      implementation.
      Note that in TensorFlow 1.x, the meaning of `fused=True` is different: if
        `False`, the layer uses the system-recommended implementation.
    trainable: Boolean, if `True` the variables will be marked as trainable.
    virtual_batch_size: An `int`. By default, `virtual_batch_size` is `None`,

    adjustment: A function taking the `Tensor` containing the (dynamic) shape of
      the input tensor and returning a pair (scale, bias) to apply to the
      normalized values (before gamma and beta), only during training. For
      example, if `axis=-1`,
        `adjustment = lambda shape: (
          tf.random.uniform(shape[-1:], 0.93, 1.07),
          tf.random.uniform(shape[-1:], -0.1, 0.1))` will scale the normalized
            value by up to 7% up or down, then shift the result by up to 0.1
            (with independent scaling and bias for each feature but shared

            `None`, no adjustment is applied. Cannot be specified if
            virtual_batch_size is specified.

  Call arguments:
    inputs: Input tensor (of any rank).
    training: Python boolean indicating whether the layer should behave in
      training mode or in inference mode.
      - `training=True`: The layer will normalize its inputs using the mean and
        variance of the current batch of inputs.
      - `training=False`: The layer will normalize its inputs using the mean and
        variance of its moving statistics, learned during training.

  Input shape: Arbitrary. Use the keyword argument `input_shape` (tuple of
    integers, does not include the samples axis) when using this layer as the
    first layer in a model.

  Output shape: Same shape as input.

Normalize and scale inputs or activations synchronously across replicas.

Applies batch normalization to activations of the previous layer at each batch by synchronizing the global batch statistics across all devices that are training the model. For specific details about batch normalization please refer to the tf.keras.layers.BatchNormalization layer docs.

If this layer is used when using tf.distribute strategy to train models across devices/workers, there will be an allreduce call to aggregate batch statistics across all replicas at every training step. Without tf.distribute strategy, this layer behaves as a regular tf.keras.layers.BatchNormalization layer.

Example usage:

strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy()

with strategy.scope():
  model = tf.keras.Sequential()
  model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(16))
  model.add(tf.keras.layers.experimental.SyncBatchNormalization())

Args

axis
Integer, the axis that should be normalized (typically the features axis). For instance, after a Conv2D layer with data_format="channels_first", set axis=1 in BatchNormalization.
momentum
Momentum for the moving average.
epsilon
Small float added to variance to avoid dividing by zero.
center
If True, add offset of beta to normalized tensor. If False, beta is ignored.
scale
If True, multiply by gamma. If False, gamma is not used. When the next layer is linear (also e.g. nn.relu), this can be disabled since the scaling will be done by the next layer.
beta_initializer
Initializer for the beta weight.
gamma_initializer
Initializer for the gamma weight.
moving_mean_initializer
Initializer for the moving mean.
moving_variance_initializer
Initializer for the moving variance.
beta_regularizer
Optional regularizer for the beta weight.
gamma_regularizer
Optional regularizer for the gamma weight.
beta_constraint
Optional constraint for the beta weight.
gamma_constraint
Optional constraint for the gamma weight.

Call arguments: inputs: Input tensor (of any rank). training: Python boolean indicating whether the layer should behave in training mode or in inference mode. - training=True: The layer will normalize its inputs using the mean and variance of the current batch of inputs. - training=False: The layer will normalize its inputs using the mean and variance of its moving statistics, learned during training.

Input shape: Arbitrary. Use the keyword argument input_shape (tuple of integers, does not include the samples axis) when using this layer as the first layer in a model.

Output shape: Same shape as input.
