How to do fully connected batch norm in PyTorch?
Ok. I figured it out. BatchNorm1d
can also handle Rank-2 tensors, thus it is possible to use BatchNorm1d
for the normal fully-connected case.
So for example:
import torch.nn as nn
class Policy(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, num_inputs, action_space, hidden_size1=256, hidden_size2=128):
super(Policy, self).__init__()
self.action_space = action_space
num_outputs = action_space
self.linear1 = nn.Linear(num_inputs, hidden_size1)
self.linear2 = nn.Linear(hidden_size1, hidden_size2)
self.linear3 = nn.Linear(hidden_size2, num_outputs)
self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm1d(hidden_size1)
self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm1d(hidden_size2)
def forward(self, inputs):
x = inputs
x = self.bn1(F.relu(self.linear1(x)))
x = self.bn2(F.relu(self.linear2(x)))
out = self.linear3(x)
return out
The BatchNorm1d normally comes before the ReLU, and the bias is redundant, so
import torch.nn as nn
class Policy(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, num_inputs, action_space, hidden_size1=256, hidden_size2=128):
super(Policy2, self).__init__()
self.action_space = action_space
num_outputs = action_space
self.linear1 = nn.Linear(num_inputs, hidden_size1, bias=False)
self.linear2 = nn.Linear(hidden_size1, hidden_size2, bias=False)
self.linear3 = nn.Linear(hidden_size2, num_outputs)
self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm1d(hidden_size1)
self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm1d(hidden_size2)
def forward(self, inputs):
x = inputs
x = F.relu(self.bn1(self.linear1(x)))
x = F.relu(self.bn2(self.linear2(x)))
out = self.linear3(x)
return out
