    "Batch Normalization: Accelerating Deep Network Training by Reducing
    Internal Covariate Shift"

    Sergey Ioffe, Christian Szegedy

  Can be used as a normalizer function for conv2d and fully_connected.

  Note: when training, the moving_mean and moving_variance need to be updated.
  By default the update ops are placed in `tf.GraphKeys.UPDATE_OPS`, so they
  need to be added as a dependency to the `train_op`. For example:

  ```python
    update_ops = tf.get_collection(tf.GraphKeys.UPDATE_OPS)
    with tf.control_dependencies(update_ops):
      train_op = optimizer.minimize(loss)
  ```

  One can set updates_collections=None to force the updates in place, but that
  can have a speed penalty, especially in distributed settings.

  Args:
    inputs: A tensor with 2 or more dimensions, where the first dimension has
      `batch_size`. The normalization is over all but the last dimension if
      `data_format` is `NHWC` and the second dimension if `data_format` is
      `NCHW`.
    decay: Decay for the moving average. Reasonable values for `decay` are close
      to 1.0, typically in the multiple-nines range: 0.999, 0.99, 0.9, etc.
      Lower `decay` value (recommend trying `decay`=0.9) if model experiences
      reasonably good training performance but poor validation and/or test
      performance.
    center: If True, add offset of `beta` to normalized tensor.  If False,
      `beta` is ignored.
    scale: If True, multiply by `gamma`. If False, `gamma` is
      not used. When the next layer is linear (also e.g. `nn.relu`), this can be
      disabled since the scaling can be done by the next layer.
    epsilon: Small float added to variance to avoid dividing by zero.
    activation_fn: Activation function, default set to None to skip it and
      maintain a linear activation.
    param_initializers: Optional initializers for beta, gamma, moving mean and
      moving variance.
    param_regularizers: Optional regularizer for beta and gamma.
    updates_collections: Collections to collect the update ops for computation.
      The updates_ops need to be executed with the train_op.
      If None, a control dependency would be added to make sure the updates are
      computed in place.
    is_training: Whether or not the layer is in training mode. In training mode
      it would accumulate the statistics of the moments into `moving_mean` and
      `moving_variance` using an exponential moving average with the given
      `decay`. When it is not in training mode then it would use the values of
      the `moving_mean` and the `moving_variance`.
    reuse: Whether or not the layer and its variables should be reused. To be
      able to reuse the layer scope must be given.
    variables_collections: Optional collections for the variables.
    outputs_collections: Collections to add the outputs.
    trainable: If `True` also add variables to the graph collection
      `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see `tf.Variable`).
    data_format: A string. `NHWC` (default) and `NCHW` are supported.
    zero_debias_moving_mean: Use zero_debias for moving_mean.
    scope: Optional scope for `variable_scope`.

  Returns:
    A `Tensor` representing the output of the operation.

  Raises:
    ValueError: If `data_format` is neither `NHWC` nor `NCHW`.
    ValueError: If the rank of `inputs` is undefined.
    ValueError: If the rank of `inputs` is neither 2 or 4.
    ValueError: If rank or `C` dimension of `inputs` is undefined.

    "Batch Normalization: Accelerating Deep Network Training by Reducing

    Sergey Ioffe, Christian Szegedy

  Can be used as a normalizer function for conv2d and fully_connected. The
  normalization is over all but the last dimension if `data_format` is `NHWC`
  and all but the second dimension if `data_format` is `NCHW`.  In case of a 2D
  tensor this corresponds to the batch dimension, while in case of a 4D tensor
  this
  corresponds to the batch and space dimensions.

  Note: when training, the moving_mean and moving_variance need to be updated.
  By default the update ops are placed in `tf.GraphKeys.UPDATE_OPS`, so they
  need to be added as a dependency to the `train_op`. For example:

  ```python
    update_ops = tf.get_collection(tf.GraphKeys.UPDATE_OPS)
    with tf.control_dependencies(update_ops):
      train_op = optimizer.minimize(loss)
  ```

  One can set updates_collections=None to force the updates in place, but that
  can have a speed penalty, especially in distributed settings.

  Args:
    inputs: A tensor with 2 or more dimensions, where the first dimension has
      `batch_size`. The normalization is over all but the last dimension if
      `data_format` is `NHWC` and the second dimension if `data_format` is
      `NCHW`.
    decay: Decay for the moving average. Reasonable values for `decay` are close
      to 1.0, typically in the multiple-nines range: 0.999, 0.99, 0.9, etc.
      Lower `decay` value (recommend trying `decay`=0.9) if model experiences
      reasonably good training performance but poor validation and/or test
      performance. Try zero_debias_moving_mean=True for improved stability.
    center: If True, add offset of `beta` to normalized tensor. If False, `beta`
      is ignored.
    scale: If True, multiply by `gamma`. If False, `gamma` is
      not used. When the next layer is linear (also e.g. `nn.relu`), this can be
      disabled since the scaling can be done by the next layer.
    epsilon: Small float added to variance to avoid dividing by zero.
    activation_fn: Activation function, default set to None to skip it and
      maintain a linear activation.
    param_initializers: Optional initializers for beta, gamma, moving mean and
      moving variance.
    param_regularizers: Optional regularizer for beta and gamma.
    updates_collections: Collections to collect the update ops for computation.
      The updates_ops need to be executed with the train_op.
      If None, a control dependency would be added to make sure the updates are
      computed in place.
    is_training: Whether or not the layer is in training mode. In training mode
      it would accumulate the statistics of the moments into `moving_mean` and
      `moving_variance` using an exponential moving average with the given
      `decay`. When it is not in training mode then it would use the values of
      the `moving_mean` and the `moving_variance`.
    reuse: Whether or not the layer and its variables should be reused. To be
      able to reuse the layer scope must be given.
    variables_collections: Optional collections for the variables.
    outputs_collections: Collections to add the outputs.
    trainable: If `True` also add variables to the graph collection
      `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see `tf.Variable`).
    batch_weights: An optional tensor of shape `[batch_size]`,
      containing a frequency weight for each batch item. If present,
      then the batch normalization uses weighted mean and
      variance. (This can be used to correct for bias in training
      example selection.)
    fused: if `None` or `True`, use a faster, fused implementation if possible.
      If `False`, use the system recommended implementation.
    data_format: A string. `NHWC` (default) and `NCHW` are supported.
    zero_debias_moving_mean: Use zero_debias for moving_mean. It creates a new
      pair of variables 'moving_mean/biased' and 'moving_mean/local_step'.
    scope: Optional scope for `variable_scope`.
    renorm: Whether to use Batch Renormalization
      (https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.03275). This adds extra variables during
      training. The inference is the same for either value of this parameter.
    renorm_clipping: A dictionary that may map keys 'rmax', 'rmin', 'dmax' to
      scalar `Tensors` used to clip the renorm correction. The correction
      `(r, d)` is used as `corrected_value = normalized_value * r + d`, with
      `r` clipped to [rmin, rmax], and `d` to [-dmax, dmax]. Missing rmax, rmin,
      dmax are set to inf, 0, inf, respectively.
    renorm_decay: Momentum used to update the moving means and standard
      deviations with renorm. Unlike `momentum`, this affects training
      and should be neither too small (which would add noise) nor too large
      (which would give stale estimates). Note that `decay` is still applied
      to get the means and variances for inference.
    adjustment: A function taking the `Tensor` containing the (dynamic) shape of
      the input tensor and returning a pair (scale, bias) to apply to the
      normalized values (before gamma and beta), only during training. For
      example,
        `adjustment = lambda shape: (
          tf.random_uniform(shape[-1:], 0.93, 1.07),
          tf.random_uniform(shape[-1:], -0.1, 0.1))`
      will scale the normalized value by up to 7% up or down, then shift the
      result by up to 0.1 (with independent scaling and bias for each feature
      but shared across all examples), and finally apply gamma and/or beta. If
      `None`, no adjustment is applied.

  Returns:
    A `Tensor` representing the output of the operation.

  Raises:
    ValueError: If `data_format` is neither `NHWC` nor `NCHW`.
    ValueError: If the rank of `inputs` is undefined.
    ValueError: If rank or channels dimension of `inputs` is undefined.

  """Adds an N-D convolution followed by an optional batch_norm layer.

  It is required that 1 <= N <= 3.

  `convolution` creates a variable called `weights`, representing the
  convolutional kernel, that is convolved (actually cross-correlated) with the
  `inputs` to produce a `Tensor` of activations. If a `normalizer_fn` is
  provided (such as `batch_norm`), it is then applied. Otherwise, if
  `normalizer_fn` is None and a `biases_initializer` is provided then a `biases`
  variable would be created and added the activations. Finally, if
  `activation_fn` is not `None`, it is applied to the activations as well.

  Performs atrous convolution with input stride/dilation rate equal to `rate`
  if a value > 1 for any dimension of `rate` is specified.  In this case
  `stride` values != 1 are not supported.

  Args:
    inputs: A Tensor of rank N+2 of shape
      `[batch_size] + input_spatial_shape + [in_channels]` if data_format does
      not start with "NC" (default), or
      `[batch_size, in_channels] + input_spatial_shape` if data_format starts
      with "NC".
    num_outputs: Integer, the number of output filters.
    kernel_size: A sequence of N positive integers specifying the spatial
      dimensions of the filters.  Can be a single integer to specify the same
      value for all spatial dimensions.
    stride: A sequence of N positive integers specifying the stride at which to
      compute output.  Can be a single integer to specify the same value for all
      spatial dimensions.  Specifying any `stride` value != 1 is incompatible
      with specifying any `rate` value != 1.
    padding: One of `"VALID"` or `"SAME"`.
    data_format: A string or None.  Specifies whether the channel dimension of
      the `input` and output is the last dimension (default, or if `data_format`
      does not start with "NC"), or the second dimension (if `data_format`
      starts with "NC").  For N=1, the valid values are "NWC" (default) and
      "NCW".  For N=2, the valid values are "NHWC" (default) and "NCHW".
      For N=3, the valid values are "NDHWC" (default) and "NCDHW".
    rate: A sequence of N positive integers specifying the dilation rate to use
      for atrous convolution.  Can be a single integer to specify the same
      value for all spatial dimensions.  Specifying any `rate` value != 1 is
      incompatible with specifying any `stride` value != 1.
    activation_fn: Activation function. The default value is a ReLU function.
      Explicitly set it to None to skip it and maintain a linear activation.
    normalizer_fn: Normalization function to use instead of `biases`. If
      `normalizer_fn` is provided then `biases_initializer` and
      `biases_regularizer` are ignored and `biases` are not created nor added.
      default set to None for no normalizer function
    normalizer_params: Normalization function parameters.
    weights_initializer: An initializer for the weights.
    weights_regularizer: Optional regularizer for the weights.
    biases_initializer: An initializer for the biases. If None skip biases.
    biases_regularizer: Optional regularizer for the biases.
    reuse: Whether or not the layer and its variables should be reused. To be
      able to reuse the layer scope must be given.
    variables_collections: Optional list of collections for all the variables or
      a dictionary containing a different list of collection per variable.
    outputs_collections: Collection to add the outputs.
    trainable: If `True` also add variables to the graph collection
      `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see tf.Variable).
    scope: Optional scope for `variable_scope`.
    conv_dims: Optional convolution dimensionality, when set it would use the
      corresponding convolution (e.g. 2 for Conv 2D, 3 for Conv 3D, ..). When
      leaved to None it would select the convolution dimensionality based on
      the input rank (i.e. Conv ND, with N = input_rank - 2).

  Returns:
    A tensor representing the output of the operation.

  Raises:
    ValueError: If `data_format` is invalid.
    ValueError: Both 'rate' and `stride` are not uniformly 1.

    https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.01704

  Implements an activation function that is essentially a multivariate
  generalization of a particular sigmoid-type function:

  ```
  y[i] = x[i] / sqrt(beta[i] + sum_j(gamma[j, i] * x[j]))
  ```

  where `i` and `j` run over channels. This implementation never sums across
  spatial dimensions. It is similar to local response normalization, but much
  more flexible, as `beta` and `gamma` are trainable parameters.

  Arguments:
    inverse: If `False` (default), compute GDN response. If `True`, compute IGDN
      response (one step of fixed point iteration to invert GDN; the division
      is replaced by multiplication).
    beta_min: Lower bound for beta, to prevent numerical error from causing
      square root of zero or negative values.
    gamma_init: The gamma matrix will be initialized as the identity matrix
      multiplied with this value. If set to zero, the layer is effectively
      initialized to the identity operation, since beta is initialized as one.
      A good default setting is somewhere between 0 and 0.5.
    reparam_offset: Offset added to the reparameterization of beta and gamma.
      The reparameterization of beta and gamma as their square roots lets the
      training slow down when their values are close to zero, which is desirable
      as small values in the denominator can lead to a situation where gradient
      noise on beta/gamma leads to extreme amounts of noise in the GDN
      activations. However, without the offset, we would get zero gradients if
      any elements of beta or gamma were exactly zero, and thus the training
      could get stuck. To prevent this, we add this small constant. The default
      value was empirically determined as a good starting point. Making it

  Implements an activation function that is essentially a multivariate
  generalization of a particular sigmoid-type function:

  ```
  y[i] = x[i] / sqrt(beta[i] + sum_j(gamma[j, i] * x[j]))
  ```

  where `i` and `j` run over channels. This implementation never sums across
  spatial dimensions. It is similar to local response normalization, but much
  more flexible, as `beta` and `gamma` are trainable parameters.

  Args:
    inputs: Tensor input.
    inverse: If `False` (default), compute GDN response. If `True`, compute IGDN
      response (one step of fixed point iteration to invert GDN; the division
      is replaced by multiplication).
    beta_min: Lower bound for beta, to prevent numerical error from causing
      square root of zero or negative values.
    gamma_init: The gamma matrix will be initialized as the identity matrix
      multiplied with this value. If set to zero, the layer is effectively
      initialized to the identity operation, since beta is initialized as one.
      A good default setting is somewhere between 0 and 0.5.
    reparam_offset: Offset added to the reparameterization of beta and gamma.
      The reparameterization of beta and gamma as their square roots lets the
      training slow down when their values are close to zero, which is desirable
      as small values in the denominator can lead to a situation where gradient
      noise on beta/gamma leads to extreme amounts of noise in the GDN
      activations. However, without the offset, we would get zero gradients if
      any elements of beta or gamma were exactly zero, and thus the training
      could get stuck. To prevent this, we add this small constant. The default
      value was empirically determined as a good starting point. Making it
      bigger potentially leads to more gradient noise on the activations, making
      it too small may lead to numerical precision issues.
    data_format: Format of input tensor. Currently supports `'channels_first'`
      and `'channels_last'`.
    activity_regularizer: Regularizer function for the output.
    trainable: Boolean, if `True`, also add variables to the graph collection
      `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see `tf.Variable`).
    name: String, the name of the layer. Layers with the same name will
      share weights, but to avoid mistakes we require `reuse=True` in such
      cases.
    reuse: Boolean, whether to reuse the weights of a previous layer by the same
      name.

    Jimmy Lei Ba, Jamie Ryan Kiros, Geoffrey E. Hinton

  Can be used as a normalizer function for conv2d and fully_connected.

  Given a tensor `inputs` of rank `R`, moments are calculated and normalization
  is performed over axes `begin_norm_axis ... R - 1`.  Scaling and centering,
  if requested, is performed over axes `begin_params_axis .. R - 1`.

  By default, `begin_norm_axis = 1` and `begin_params_axis = -1`,
  meaning that normalization is performed over all but the first axis
  (the `HWC` if `inputs` is `NHWC`), while the `beta` and `gamma` trainable
  parameters are calculated for the rightmost axis (the `C` if `inputs` is
  `NHWC`).  Scaling and recentering is performed via broadcast of the
  `beta` and `gamma` parameters with the normalized tensor.

  The shapes of `beta` and `gamma` are `inputs.shape[begin_params_axis:]`,
  and this part of the inputs' shape must be fully defined.

  Args:
    inputs: A tensor having rank `R`. The normalization is performed over
      axes `begin_norm_axis ... R - 1` and centering and scaling parameters
      are calculated over `begin_params_axis ... R - 1`.
    center: If True, add offset of `beta` to normalized tensor. If False, `beta`
      is ignored.
    scale: If True, multiply by `gamma`. If False, `gamma` is
      not used. When the next layer is linear (also e.g. `nn.relu`), this can be
      disabled since the scaling can be done by the next layer.
    activation_fn: Activation function, default set to None to skip it and
      maintain a linear activation.
    reuse: Whether or not the layer and its variables should be reused. To be
      able to reuse the layer scope must be given.
    variables_collections: Optional collections for the variables.
    outputs_collections: Collections to add the outputs.
    trainable: If `True` also add variables to the graph collection
      `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see tf.Variable).
    begin_norm_axis: The first normalization dimension: normalization will be
      performed along dimensions `begin_norm_axis : rank(inputs)`
    begin_params_axis: The first parameter (beta, gamma) dimension: scale
      and centering parameters will have dimensions
      `begin_params_axis : rank(inputs)` and will be broadcast with the
      normalized inputs accordingly.
    scope: Optional scope for `variable_scope`.

  Returns:
    A `Tensor` representing the output of the operation, having the same
    shape and dtype as `inputs`.

  Raises:
    ValueError: If the rank of `inputs` is not known at graph build time,
      or if `inputs.shape[begin_params_axis:]` is not fully defined at
      graph build time.

  """Builds a stack of layers by applying layer repeatedly using stack_args.

  `stack` allows you to repeatedly apply the same operation with different
  arguments `stack_args[i]`. For each application of the layer, `stack` creates
  a new scope appended with an increasing number. For example:

  ```python
    y = stack(x, fully_connected, [32, 64, 128], scope='fc')
    # It is equivalent to:

    x = fully_connected(x, 32, scope='fc/fc_1')

    y = fully_connected(x, 128, scope='fc/fc_3')
  ```

  `layer.__name__`, or `layer.func.__name__` (for `functools.partial`
  objects). If neither `__name__` nor `func.__name__` is available, the

  r"""Adds the parameters for a fully connected layer and returns the output.

  A fully connected layer is generally defined as a matrix multiply:
  `y = f(w * x + b)` where `f` is given by `activation_fn`. If
  `activation_fn` is `None`, the result of `y = w * x + b` is
  returned.

  If `x` has shape [\\(\text{dim}_0, \text{dim}_1, ..., \text{dim}_n\\)]
  with more than 2 dimensions (\\(n > 1\\)), then we repeat the matrix
  multiply along the first dimensions. The result r is a tensor of shape
  [\\(\text{dim}_0, ..., \text{dim}_{n-1},\\) `num_output_units`],
  where \\( r_{i_0, ..., i_{n-1}, k} =
  \sum_{0 \leq j < \text{dim}_n} x_{i_0, ... i_{n-1}, j} \cdot w_{j, k}\\).
  This is accomplished by reshaping `x` to 2-D
  [\\(\text{dim}_0 \cdot ... \cdot \text{dim}_{n-1}, \text{dim}_n\\)]
  before the matrix multiply and afterwards reshaping it to
  [\\(\text{dim}_0, ..., \text{dim}_{n-1},\\) `num_output_units`].

  This op creates `w` and optionally `b`. Bias (`b`) can be disabled by setting
  `bias_init` to `None`.

  The variable creation is compatible with `tf.variable_scope` and so can be
  reused with `tf.variable_scope` or `tf.make_template`.

  Most of the details of variable creation can be controlled by specifying the
  initializers (`weight_init` and `bias_init`) and in which collections to place
  the created variables (`weight_collections` and `bias_collections`; note that
  the variables are always added to the `VARIABLES` collection). The output of
  the layer can be placed in custom collections using `output_collections`.
  The collections arguments default to `WEIGHTS`, `BIASES` and `ACTIVATIONS`,
  respectively.

  A per layer regularization can be specified by setting `weight_regularizer`
  and `bias_regularizer`, which are applied to the weights and biases
  respectively, and whose output is added to the `REGULARIZATION_LOSSES`
  collection.

  Args:
    x: The input `Tensor`.
    num_output_units: The size of the output.
    activation_fn: Activation function, default set to None to skip it and
      maintain a linear activation.
    weight_init: An optional weight initialization, defaults to
      `xavier_initializer`.
    bias_init: An initializer for the bias, defaults to 0. Set to `None` in
      order to disable bias.
    name: The name for this operation is used to name operations and to find
      variables. If specified it must be unique for this scope, otherwise a
      unique name starting with "fully_connected" will be created.  See
      `tf.variable_scope` for details.
    weight_collections: List of graph collections to which weights are added.
    bias_collections: List of graph collections to which biases are added.
    output_collections: List of graph collections to which outputs are added.
    trainable: If `True` also add variables to the graph collection
      `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see tf.Variable).
    weight_regularizer: A regularizer like the result of
      `l1_regularizer` or `l2_regularizer`. Used for weights.
    bias_regularizer: A regularizer like the result of
      `l1_regularizer` or `l2_regularizer`. Used for biases.

  Returns:
    The output of the fully connected layer.
