Leveraging radial invariance in CNN with Batch Norm (BN) to build a spherical framework which provides interesting theoretical insights of how BN interacts with optimization. Introduction of a variation of Adam, AdamSRT which improves signifiantly performances over a variety of datasets and architectures.
