Translations:Batch Normalization Accelerating Deep Network Training/24/en

While the original internal covariate shift explanation has been debated — subsequent work by Santurkar et al. (2018) argued that the primary benefit comes from smoothing the optimization landscape rather than reducing distributional shift — the practical effectiveness of batch normalization is undisputed. It was a key enabler of training the deep networks that drove progress in computer vision throughout the 2010s.
