RMSNorm regularizes the summed inputs to a neuron in one layer according to root mean square (RMS), giving the model re-scaling invariance property and implicit learning rate adaptation ability. RMSNorm is computationally simpler and thus more efficient than LayerNorm.

**Boost-GNN** is an architecture that trains GBDT and GNN jointly to get the best of both worlds: the GBDT model deals with heterogeneous features, while GNN accounts for the graph structure. The model benefits from end-to-end optimization by allowing new trees to fit the gradient updates of GNN.

Root Mean Square Layer Normalization

A **Noisy Linear Layer** is a [linear layer](https://paperswithcode.com/method/linear-layer) with parametric noise added to the weights. This induced stochasticity can be used in reinforcement learning networks for the agent's policy to aid efficient exploration. The parameters of the noise are learned with gradient descent along with any other remaining network weights. Factorized Gaussian noise is the type of noise usually employed.

The noisy linear layer takes the form:

$$y = \left(b + Wx\right) + \left(b\_{noisy}\odot\epsilon^{b}+\left(W\_{noisy}\odot\epsilon^{w}\right)x\right) $$

where $\epsilon^{b}$ and $\epsilon^{w}$ are random variables.
