How to do fully connected batch norm in PyTorch?

Question

torch.nn has classes BatchNorm1d, BatchNorm2d, BatchNorm3d, but it doesn't have a fully connected BatchNorm class? What is the standard way of doing normal Batch Norm in PyTorch?

Answer 1

Ok. I figured it out. BatchNorm1d can also handle Rank-2 tensors, thus it is possible to use BatchNorm1d for the normal fully-connected case.

So for example:

import torch.nn as nn


class Policy(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, num_inputs, action_space, hidden_size1=256, hidden_size2=128):
    super(Policy, self).__init__()
    self.action_space = action_space
    num_outputs = action_space

    self.linear1 = nn.Linear(num_inputs, hidden_size1)
    self.linear2 = nn.Linear(hidden_size1, hidden_size2)
    self.linear3 = nn.Linear(hidden_size2, num_outputs)
    self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm1d(hidden_size1)
    self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm1d(hidden_size2)

def forward(self, inputs):
    x = inputs
    x = self.bn1(F.relu(self.linear1(x)))
    x = self.bn2(F.relu(self.linear2(x)))
    out = self.linear3(x)


    return out
