Is the batchnorm momentum convention (default=0.1) correct as in other libraries e.g. Tensorflow it seems to usually be 0.9 or 0.99 by default? Or maybe we are just using a different convention?
It seems that the parametrization convention is different in pytorch than in tensorflow, so that 0.1 in pytorch is equivalent to 0.9 in tensorflow.
To be more precise:
In Tensorflow:
running_mean = decay*running_mean + (1-decay)*new_value
In PyTorch:
running_mean = (1-decay)*running_mean + decay*new_value
This means that a value of decay in PyTorch is equivalent to a value of (1-decay) in Tensorflow.
