group_norm

paddle.nn.functional. group_norm ( x, num_groups, epsilon=1e-05, weight=None, bias=None, data_format='NCHW', name=None ) [source]

nn.GroupNorm is recommended. For more information, please refer to GroupNorm .

Parameters

  • x (Tensor) – Input Tensor with shape: attr:(batch, num_features, *).

  • num_groups (int) – The number of groups that divided from channels.

  • epsilon (float, optional) – The small value added to the variance to prevent division by zero. Default: 1e-05.

  • weight (Tensor, optional) – The weight Tensor of group_norm, with shape: attr:[num_channels]. Default: None.

  • bias (Tensor, optional) – The bias Tensor of group_norm, with shape: attr:[num_channels]. Default: None.

  • data_format (str, optional) – Specify the input data format. Support “NCL”, “NCHW”, “NCDHW”, “NLC”, “NHWC” or “NDHWC”. Default: “NCHW”.

  • name (str, optional) – Name for the GroupNorm, default is None. For more information, please refer to Name..

Returns

Tensor, the output has the same shape with x.

Examples

>>> import paddle
>>> paddle.seed(100)
>>> x = paddle.arange(48, dtype="float32").reshape((2, 6, 2, 2))
>>> group_norm_out = paddle.nn.functional.group_norm(x, num_groups=6)

>>> print(group_norm_out)
