LayerNorm in PyTorch

*Memos:

My post explains Layer Normalization.
My post explains BatchNorm1d().
My post explains BatchNorm2d().
My post explains BatchNorm3d().
My post explains requires_grad.

LayerNorm() can get the 1D or more D tensor of the zero or more elements computed by Layer Normalization from the 1D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

The 1st argument for initialization is normalized_shape(Required-Type:int, tuple or list of int or torch.Size). *It must be 0 <= x.
The 2nd argument for initialization is eps(Optional-Default:1e-05-Type:float).
The 3rd argument for initialization is elementwise_affine=True(Optional-Default:True-Type:bool).
The 4th argument for initialization is bias(Optional-Default:True-Type:bool). *My post explains bias argument.
The 5th argument for initialization is device(Optional-Default:None-Type:str, int or device()): *Memos:
- If it's None, get_default_device() is used. *My post explains get_default_device() and set_default_device().
- device= can be omitted.
- My post explains device argument.
The 6th argument for initialization is dtype(Optional-Default:None-Type:dtype): *Memos:
- If it's None, get_default_dtype() is used. *My post explains get_default_dtype() and set_default_dtype().
- dtype= can be omitted.
- My post explains dtype argument.
The 1st argument is input(Required-Type:tensor of float): *Memos:
- It must be the 1D or more D tensor of zero or more elements.
- The number of the elements of the deepest dimension must be same as normalized_shape.
- Its device and dtype must be same as LayerNorm()'s.
- The tensor's requires_grad which is False by default is set to True by LayerNorm().
layernorm1.device and layernorm1.dtype don't work.
