这里总结了三种权重的初始化方法，前两种比较常见，后一种是最新的。为了表达顺畅（当时写给一个歪果仁看的），用了英文，欢迎补充和指正。

1. Gaussian
Weights are randomly drawn from Gaussian distributions with fixed mean (e.g., 0) and fixed standard deviation (e.g., 0.01).
This is the most common initialization method in deep learning.
2. Xavier
This method proposes to adopt a properly scaled uniform or Gaussian distribution for initialization.
In Caffe (an openframework for deep learning) [2], It initializes the weights in network by drawing them from a distribution with zero mean and a specific variance,
Where W is the initialization distribution for the neuron in question, and n_in is the number of neurons feeding into it. The distribution used is typically Gaussian or uniform.
In Glorot & Bengio’s paper [1], itoriginally recommended using
Where n_out is the number of neurons the result is fed to.

3. MSRA
This method is proposed to solve the training of extremely deep rectified models directly from scratch [1].
In this method,weights are initialized with a zero-mean Gaussian distribution whose std is
Where 
is the spatial filter size in layer l and
d_l?1 is the number of filters in layer l?1.
