一、超参数寻优技巧
- 对于超参数选择不要采用网格搜索,而是采用随机搜索。
- 使用(log scale)对数尺度搜索而不要用线性尺度搜索
- 先大范围再缩小范围(coarse to fine)
(1)学习率α
(2)beta
1/(1-beta)前多少项的平均
beta越接近1越敏感,对数尺度搜索对接近1的搜索精度越大
二、batch normalization
对每一个隐藏层都进行分布调整,将均值与方差当做参数进行学习,得到适合每一层的分布。
- Batch norm可以减少神经网络后一层与前一层的耦合,即后层适应前面变化的能力减弱了。
- 可以起到轻微regularization的作用。因为使用mini-batch的时候,隐藏层单元的方差和均值都有噪声,使网络不会太依赖某一层。可以与dropout共同使用。

def batchnorm_forward(x, gamma, beta, bn_param):
"""
Forward pass for batch normalization.
During training the sample mean and (uncorrected) sample variance are
computed from minibatch statistics and used to normalize the incoming data.
During training we also keep an exponentially decaying running mean of the
mean and variance of each feature, and these averages are used to normalize
data at test-time.
At each timestep we update the running averages for mean and variance using
an exponential decay based on the momentum parameter:
running_mean = momentum * running_mean + (1 - momentum) * sample_mean
running_var = momentum * running_var + (1 - momentum) * sample_var
Note that the batch normalization paper suggests a different test-time
behavior: they compute sample mean and variance for each feature using a
large number of training images rather than using a running average. For
this implementation we have chosen to use running averages instead since
they do not require an additional estimation step; the torch7
implementation of batch normalization also uses running averages.
Input:
- x: Data of shape (N, D)
- gamma: Scale parameter of shape (D,)
- beta: Shift paremeter of shape (D,)
- bn_param: Dictionary with the following keys:
- mode: 'train' or 'test'; required
- eps: Constant for numeric stability
- momentum: Constant for running mean / variance.
- running_mean: Array of shape (D,) giving running mean of features
- running_var Array of shape (D,) giving running variance of features
Returns a tuple of:
- out: of shape (N, D)
- cache: A tuple of values needed in the backward pass
