Center and scale each position’s features, then apply learned gain and bias.

    The mean and standard-deviation are calculated over the last `D` dimensions, where `D`
    is the dimension of :attr:`normalized_shape`. For example, if :attr:`normalized_shape`
    is ``(3, 5)`` (a 2-dimensional shape), the mean and standard-deviation are computed over
    the last 2 dimensions of the input (i.e. ``input.mean((-2, -1))``).

    The standard-deviation is calculated via the biased estimator, equivalent to
    `torch.var(input, unbiased=False)`.

        Unlike Batch Normalization and Instance Normalization, which applies
        scalar scale and bias for each entire channel/plane with the
        :attr:`affine` option, Layer Normalization applies per-element scale and

LayerNorm normalizes the final configured axes with population variance, defaults to epsilon 1e-5, and owns learned gain and bias.
