![BATCH NORMALIZATION
§ Each mini-batch may have wildly different distributions
§ Normalize per batch (and layer)
§ Speeds up training!!
§ Weights are learned quicker
§ Final model is more accurate
§ Final mean and variance will be folded into Graph later
-- Pretty Much Always Use Batch Normalization! --
