I have a neural network in a synthetic experiment I am doing where scale matters and I do not wish to remove it & where my initial network is initialized with a prior that is non-zero and equal everywhere.
How do I add noise appropriately so that it trains well with the gradient descent rule?
I was thinking of adding the noise from xavier to my constant weight NN. So I create a new NN with xavier init or standard pytorch init and then to all weights add the constant value I need.
Would that work?
