I agree that the mean and variance of the small batches won&amp;#x27;t be representative of the true mean and variance, but in practice, I&amp;#x27;ve used batch norm for small batch sizes successfully (e.g., &amp;lt;8). In medical imaging, due to memory constraints, I commonly see batch sizes of 2 (or even 1, although it&amp;#x27;s not really &amp;quot;batch norm&amp;quot; at that point). The paper &amp;quot;Revisiting small batch training for deep neural networks&amp;quot; [1] discusses the benefits of small batch sizes even…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1804.07612/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
