Differences

PyTorch：The default value of the momentum parameter used for running_mean and running_var calculation is 0.1.

MindSpore：The default value of the momentum parameter is 0.9, and the momentum relationship with Pytorch is 1-momentum, that is, when Pytorch’s momentum value is 0.2, MindSpore’s momemtum should be 0.8.

Code Example

# The following implements BatchNorm2d with MindSpore.
import numpy as np
import torch
import mindspore.nn as nn
from mindspore import Tensor

net = nn.BatchNorm2d(num_features=3, momentum=0.8)
x = Tensor(np.ones([1, 3, 2, 2]).astype(np.float32))
output = net(x)
print(output)
# Out:
# [[[[0.999995   0.999995]
#    [0.999995   0.999995]]
#
#   [[0.999995   0.999995]
#    [0.999995   0.999995]]
#
#   [[0.999995   0.999995]
#    [0.999995   0.999995]]]]


# The following implements BatchNorm2d with torch.
input_x = torch.randn(1, 3, 2, 2)
m = torch.nn.BatchNorm2d(3, momentum=0.2)
output = m(input_x)
print(output)
# Out:
# tensor([[[[ 0.0054,  1.6285],
