Batch Normalization: A different perspective from Quantized Inference Model
The benefits of Batch Normalization in training are well known for the reduction of internal covariate shift and hence optimizing the training to converge faster. This article tries to bring in a different perspective, where the quantization loss is recovered with the help of Batch Normalization layer, thus retaining the accuracy of the model. The article also gives a simplified implementation of Batch Normalization to reduce the load on edge devices which generally will have constraints on computation of neural network models.
