New research shows normalization layers provide global context in sequence labelers

A new research paper challenges the conventional understanding of context in convolutional sequence labelers. The study demonstrates that sequence-pooled normalization layers can provide global context, bypassing the limitations of a model's receptive field. This normalization mechanism, derived from the layer's Jacobian matrix, significantly enhances performance on sequence labeling tasks, particularly when labels are long-running, as shown in experiments with synthetic data and the 1000 Genomes Project.

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and effective sequence labeling models by leveraging normalization layers for global context, potentially improving performance in areas like genomic analysis.

    Beyond receptive fields: sequence-pooled normalization can supply most of a sequence labeler's context

    A convolutional sequence labeler's receptive field is routinely treated as the extent of the model's usable context: it sets dilation schedules, bounds streaming horizons, and underwrites locality claims. However, we show that this can be false: when a normalization layer compute…
