+### Note on batch normalization
+We found that using [Goyal et al.'s](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.02677)
+initialization for the batch-normalization (i.e., initializing the scaling
+coefficient gamma to 0 in the last batchnorm of each residual block) led to
+more stable training, but slightly harms BYOL's performance for very large
+networks (e.g., `ResNet-50 (3x)`, `ResNet-200 (2x)`). We didn't observe any
+change in performance for smaller networks (`ResNet-50 (1x)` and `(2x)`).

+Results in the paper were obtained *without* this modified initialization, i.e.
