Sergey Ioffe and Christian Szegedy of Google introduced Batch Normalization, a revolutionary optimization technique that normalized layer inputs within each mini-batch during training. By drastically reducing internal covariate shift, this simple mathematical layer allowed for significantly higher learning rates and more stable, accelerated backpropagation convergence.
