  Note that the momentum to use will affect validation accuracy over time.
  Batch norm has different behaviors during training/evaluation. With a large
  momentum, the model takes longer to get a near-accurate estimation of the
  moving mean/variance over the entire training dataset, which means we need
  more iterations to see good evaluation results. If the training data is evenly
  distributed over the feature space, we can also try setting a smaller momentum
  (such as 0.1) to get good evaluation result sooner.
