If the main benefit of BatchNorm is loss landscape smoothing, why do we use z-score normalisation instead of min-max?
According to recent papers, the main reason why BatchNorm works is because it smooths the loss landscape. So if the main benefit is loss landscape smoothing, why do we need mean subtraction at all? ...
