The lpnormpool implementation was wrong. The existing implementation is
y = (∑ᵢ xᵢ^p)^(1 / p)
, whereas the true Lp norm shuld bey = (∑ᵢ |xᵢ|^p)^(1 / p)
, where|x|
isabs(x)
. This also affects the gradient, which should be∂y/∂xᵢ = |xᵢ|^(p-1) × y^(1-p) × sign(xᵢ)
instead of∂y/∂xᵢ = xᵢ^(p-1) × y^(1-p)
. The necessary changes should go intosrc/impl/pooling_direct.jl
which is what this PR achieves.The existing implementation is exact only for the input array
x
such thatxᵢ >= 0 ∀ xᵢ ∈ x
. This will not generally be the case. For example, when the input to the pooling layer comes from a layer which had leaky ReLU activation, then the problem of the implementation would manifest.MWE of the problem:
