xavier

xavier初始化出自论文Understanding the difficulty of training deep feedforward neural network,论文讨论的是全连接神经网络，fan_in指第i层神经元个数，fan_out指第i+1层神经元个数，但是我们的卷积神经网路是局部连接的，此时的fan_in，fan_out是什么意思呢。

在pytorch中，fan_in指kernel_height x kernel_width x in_channel. fan_out指kernel_height x kernel_width x out_channel，从局部连接的过程来看似乎并不十分合理，卷积神经网络的局部连接在感受野内仍然是全连接。fan_in=kh x kw x in_channel没什么疑问，但是fan_out应该等于out_channel更合理啊。待解答。

code，来自pytorch实现
