RT Avi Chawla (@_avichawla)Here's a hidden detail about Dropout that many people don't know.Assume that:- There are 100 neurons in a layer, and all activation values are 1.- The weight from 100 neurons to a neuron ‘A’ in the next layer is 1.- Dropout rate = 50%Computing the input of neuron ‘A’:- During training → Approx. 50 (since ~50% of values will be dropped).- During inference → 100 (since we don't use Dropout during inference).So essentially, during training, the average neuron input is significantly l ...
