批量归一化（Batch Normalization）原理与PyTorch实现

批量归一化（Batch Normalization）是加速深度神经网络训练的常用技术。本文通过Fashion-MNIST数据集，演示如何从零实现批量归一化，并对比PyTorch内置API的简洁实现方式。

1. 从零实现批量归一化

1.1 批量归一化函数实现

import torch
from torch import nn
from d2l import torch as d2ldef batch_norm(X, gamma, beta, moving_mean, moving_var, eps, momentum):if not torch.is_grad_enabled():# 预测模式下使用移动平均X_hat = (X - moving_mean) / torch.sqrt(moving_var + eps)else:assert len(X.shape) in (2, 4)if len(X.shape) == 2:# 全连接层：特征维计算均值和方差mean = X.mean(dim=0)var = ((X - mean) ** 2).mean(dim=0)else:# 卷积层：通道维计算均值和方差mean = X.mean(dim=(0, 2, 3), keepdim=True)var = ((X - mean) ** 2).mean(dim=(0, 2, 3), keepdim=True)# 训练模式下更新移动平均X_hat = (X - mean) / torch.sqrt(var + eps)moving_mean = momentum * moving_mean + (1.0 - momentum) * meanmoving_var = momentum * moving_var + (1.0 - momentum) * varY = gamma * X_hat + beta  # 缩放和平移return Y, moving_mean.data, moving_var.data

1.2 批量归一化层类

class BatchNorm(nn.Module):def __init__(self, num_features, num_dims):super().__init__()if num_dims == 2:shape = (1, num_features)else:shape = (1, num_features, 1, 1)self.gamma = nn.Parameter(torch.ones(shape))self.beta = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(shape))self.moving_mean = torch.zeros(shape)self.moving_var = torch.ones(shape)def forward(self, X):if self.moving_mean.device != X.device:self.moving_mean = self.moving_mean.to(X.device)self.moving_var = self.moving_var.to(X.device)Y, self.moving_mean, self.moving_var = batch_norm(X, self.gamma, self.beta, self.moving_mean,self.moving_var, eps=1e-5, momentum=0.9)return Y

1.3 构建含批量归一化的网络

net = nn.Sequential(nn.Conv2d(1, 6, kernel_size=5), BatchNorm(6, num_dims=4), nn.Sigmoid(),nn.AvgPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2),nn.Conv2d(6, 16, kernel_size=5), BatchNorm(16, num_dims=4), nn.Sigmoid(),nn.AvgPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2), nn.Flatten(),nn.Linear(16*4*4, 120), BatchNorm(120, num_dims=2), nn.Sigmoid(),nn.Linear(120, 84), BatchNorm(84, num_dims=2), nn.Sigmoid(),nn.Linear(84, 10))

1.4 训练与结果

lr, num_epochs, batch_size = 1.0, 10, 256
train_iter, test_iter = d2l.load_data_fashion_mnist(batch_size)
d2l.train_ch6(net, train_iter, test_iter, num_epochs, lr, d2l.try_gpu())

输出结果：

loss 0.277, train acc 0.898, test acc 0.835

2. 使用PyTorch内置批量归一化

2.1 简洁实现网络结构

net = nn.Sequential(nn.Conv2d(1, 6, kernel_size=5),nn.BatchNorm2d(6),nn.Sigmoid(),nn.AvgPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2),nn.Conv2d(6, 16, kernel_size=5),nn.BatchNorm2d(16),nn.Sigmoid(),nn.AvgPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2),nn.Flatten(),nn.Linear(256, 120),nn.BatchNorm1d(120),nn.Sigmoid(),nn.Linear(120, 84),nn.BatchNorm1d(84),nn.Sigmoid(),nn.Linear(84, 10))

2.2 训练与结果对比

d2l.train_ch6(net, train_iter, test_iter, num_epochs, lr, d2l.try_gpu())

输出结果：

loss 0.264, train acc 0.902, test acc 0.849
44608.4 examples/sec on cuda:0

训练曲线：

3. 关键参数分析

查看第一个批量归一化层的缩放（gamma）和偏移（beta）参数：

print(net[1].gamma.reshape((-1,)), 
print(net[1].beta.reshape((-1,)))

输出：

tensor([ 0.1832, -2.5689, -3.2450, -0.7221, 1.1290, 2.2353], device='cuda:0', grad_fn=<ReshapeAliasBackward0>))
