Reexamining the principle of mean-variance preservation for neural network initialization
Before backpropagation training, it is common to randomly initialize a neural network so that mean and variance of activity are uniform across neurons. Classically these statistics were defined over an ensemble of random networks. Alternatively, they can be defined over a random sample of inputs to...
