10 Questions
1

What is the primary operational procedure of Batch Normalization (Ioffe & Szegedy, 2015) for a mini-batch B?

2

Why are the learnable parameters gamma (scale) and beta (shift) included in Batch Normalization?

3

How does Batch Normalization behave differently during inference (eval mode) compared to training?

4

What was the original justification given for Batch Normalization, and what did Santurkar et al. (2018) prove is the true underlying mechanism?

5

Why does Batch Normalization act as an implicit regularizer, often reducing or eliminating the need for Dropout?

6

Why is the explicit bias parameter b in a preceding linear or convolutional layer (W*x + b) redundant when followed immediately by Batch Normalization?

7

Why does Batch Normalization perform poorly when the mini-batch size is extremely small (e.g., batch_size = 2 or 4)?

8

How does Layer Normalization (Ba, Kiros, & Hinton, 2016) differ fundamentally from Batch Normalization?

9

How does Group Normalization (Wu & He, 2018) normalize channels in CNNs?

10

What is Instance Normalization (Ulyanov et al., 2016), and where is it predominantly used?
