Weight Normalization

This repo contains example code for Weight Normalization, as described in the following paper:

Weight Normalization: A Simple Reparameterization to Accelerate Training of Deep Neural Networks, by Tim Salimans, and Diederik P. Kingma.

• The folder 'lasagne' contains code using the Lasagne package for Theano. This code was used to run the CIFAR-10 experiments in the paper.
• The folder 'tensorflow' contains a single nn.py file with a direct implementation copied from our PixelCNN++ repository.
• The folder 'keras' contains example code for use with the Keras package.
