Xavier and He Weight Initialization

Compute the range or standard deviation used to initialize the weights of a layer.

Lo que aprenderás

  • Compute initialization ranges for a layer
  • Choose between Xavier and He
  • Understand why initialization matters

Problema

Ver traducción

Weights that start too big or too small make deep networks hard to train. Two standard schemes pick the scale from the layer size, where fan_in is the number of inputs and fan_out the number of outputs:

methodreturns
"xavier_uniform"limit √(6 / (fan_in + fan_out)), weights drawn from [-limit, limit]
"xavier_normal"standard deviation √(2 / (fan_in + fan_out))
"he_uniform"limit √(6 / fan_in)
"he_normal"standard deviation √(2 / fan_in)

Xavier (Glorot) suits sigmoid and tanh layers; He suits ReLU layers.

Implement init_bound(method, fan_in, fan_out).

Input

method: One of "xavier_uniform", "xavier_normal", "he_uniform" or "he_normal".

fan_in, fan_out: The layer's number of inputs and outputs.

Output

Return the limit or standard deviation as a decimal number.

Restricciones

1 ≤ fan_in, fan_out ≤ 100,000

Ejemplos

Ejemplo 1
Entrada:
fan_in = 3
method = "xavier_uniform"
fan_out = 3

Salida esperada:
expected = 1.0
Entrada:
long long fan_in = 3;
std::string method = "xavier_uniform";
long long fan_out = 3;

Salida esperada:
double expected = 1.0;
Entrada:
long fan_in = 3;
string method = "xavier_uniform";
long fan_out = 3;

Salida esperada:
double expected = 1.0;

Explicación

√(6 / (3 + 3)) = √1 = 1, so weights are drawn from [-1, 1].

Ejemplo 2
Entrada:
fan_in = 50
method = "he_normal"
fan_out = 10

Salida esperada:
expected = 0.2
Entrada:
long long fan_in = 50;
std::string method = "he_normal";
long long fan_out = 10;

Salida esperada:
double expected = 0.2;
Entrada:
long fan_in = 50;
string method = "he_normal";
long fan_out = 10;

Salida esperada:
double expected = 0.2;

Explicación

He only uses fan_in: √(2 / 50) = √0.04 = 0.2.

Cómo abordarlo

Inténtalo primero por tu cuenta y luego abre las pistas una a una.

Pista 1

Each method only depends on the layer sizes and whether you need a bound or a spread.

Pista 2

Use fan_in alone for He methods, and fan_in plus fan_out for Xavier methods.

Pista 3

Do not mix up uniform and normal formulas, since one returns a limit and the other returns a standard deviation.

Complejidad esperada
