In most pytorch training, one of the augmentations applied to both the train and validation set is Normalization especially when doing transfer learning like so for Imagenet dataset;
transforms.Normalization(
mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]
)
I want to know if it is a good idea to apply a similar transform when using pytorch dataloaders with keras 3.0 model architecture for training?
