Similar to how a compiler uses an intermediate representation (IR) so that the programmer does not need to manually optimize their code for most of the cases, we can have an intermediate representation in PaddlePaddle as well. The compiler optimizes the IR as follows:
PaddlePaddle can support model parallelism by converting the IR so that the user no longer needs to manually perform the computation and operations in the Python component:
The IR for PaddlePaddle after refactoring is called a `Block`, it specifies the computation dependency graph and the variables used in the computation.

`is_infer` is an attribute. Once an operator is created, its attributes can not be changed. It suggests us that we shall maintain two `batch_norm_op` in the model, one's `is_infer` is `True`(we call it `infer_batch_norm_op`) and the other one's is `False`(we call it `train_batch_norm_op`). They share all parameters and variables, but be placed in two different branches. That is to say, if a network contains a `batch_norm_op`, it will fork into two branches, one go through `train_batch_norm_op` and the other one go through `infer_batch_norm_op`:
Just like what is shown in the above graph, the net forks before `batch_norm_op` and will never merge again. All the operators after `batch_norm_op` will duplicate.

### Parameter Norm Penalties
Most common regularization approaches in deep learning are based on limiting the capacity of the models by adding a parameter norm penalty to the objective function `J`. This is given as follows:
The parameter `alpha` is a hyperparameter that weights the relative contribution of the norm penalty term, `omega`, relative to the standard objective function `J`.
The most commonly used norm penalties are the L2 norm penalty and the L1 norm penalty. These are given as follows:

#### High-level API
In PaddlePaddle Python API, users will primarily rely on [layer functions](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/python_api.md#layer-function) to create neural network layers. Hence, we also need to provide regularization functionality in layer functions. The design of these APIs can be postponed for later right now. A good reference for these APIs can be found in [Keras](https://keras.io/regularizers/) and also by looking at Tensorflow in [`tf.contrib.layers`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_guides/python/contrib.layers).

The black solid arrows indicate the forward pass; the green dashed arrows indicate the backward pass of generator training; the red dashed arrows indicate the backward pass of the discriminator training. The BP pass of the green (red) arrow should only update the parameters in the green (red) boxes. The diamonds indicate the data providers. d\_loss and g\_loss marked in red and green are the two targets we would like to run.
