normalize¶

paddle.nn.functional. normalize ( x, p=2, axis=1, epsilon=1e-12, name=None ) [source]

Normalize x along dimension axis using \(L_p\) norm. This layer computes

\[y = \frac{x}{ \max\left( \lvert \lvert x \rvert \rvert_p, epsilon\right) }\]

\[\lvert \lvert x \rvert \rvert_p = \left( \sum_i {\lvert x_i \rvert^p} \right)^{1/p}\]

where, \(\sum_i{\lvert x_i \rvert^p}\) is calculated along the axis dimension.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The input tensor could be N-D tensor, and the input data type could be float32 or float64.
p (float|int, optional) – The exponent value in the norm formulation. Default: 2.
axis (int, optional) – The axis on which to apply normalization. If axis < 0, the dimension to normalization is x.ndim + axis. -1 is the last dimension.
epsilon (float, optional) – Small float added to denominator to avoid dividing by zero. Default is 1e-12.
name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

Tensor, the output has the same shape and data type with x.

>>> import paddle.nn.functional as F

>>> paddle.disable_static()
>>> x = paddle.arange(6, dtype="float32").reshape([2,3])
>>> y = F.normalize(x)
>>> print(y)
