A "dead" ReLU always outputs the same value (zero as it happens, but that is not important) for any input. Probably this is arrived at by learning a large negative bias term for its weights.
In turn, that means that it takes no role in discriminating between inputs. For classification, you could visualise this as a decision plane outside of all possible input data.
Once a ReLU ends up in this state, it is unlikely to recover, because the function gradient at 0 is also 0, so gradient descent learning will not alter the weights. "Leaky" ReLUs with a small positive gradient for negative inputs (y=0.01x when x < 0 say) are one attempt to address this issue and give a chance to recover.
The sample mean or empirical mean and the sample covariance are statistics computed from a collection (the sample) of data on one or more random variables. The sample mean and sample covariance are estimators of the population mean and population covariance, where the term population refers to the set from which the sample was taken.

更新函数
Note: the book uses tensorflow.contrib.layers.batch_norm() rather than tf.layers.batch_normalization() (which did not exist when this chapter was written). It is now preferable to use tf.layers.batch_normalization(), because anything in the contrib module may change or be deleted without notice. Instead of using the batch_norm() function as a regularizer parameter to the fully_connected() function, we now use batch_normalization() and we explicitly create a distinct layer. The parameters are a bit different, in particular:
decay is renamed to momentum,
is_training is renamed to training,
updates_collections is removed: the update operations needed by batch normalization are added to the UPDATE_OPS collection and you need to explicity run these operations during training (see the execution phase below),
we don't need to specify scale=True, as that is the default.
Also note that in order to run batch norm just before each hidden layer's activation function, we apply the ELU activation function manually, right after the batch norm layer.
Note: since the tf.layers.dense() function is incompatible with tf.contrib.layers.arg_scope() (which is used in the book), we now use python's functools.partial() function instead. It makes it easy to create a my_dense_layer() function that just calls tf.layers.dense() with the desired parameters automatically set (unless they are overridden when calling my_dense_layer()). As you can see, the code remains very similar.
Note: since we are using tf.layers.batch_normalization() rather than tf.contrib.layers.batch_norm() (as in the book), we need to explicitly run the extra update operations needed by batch normalization (sess.run([training_op, extra_update_ops],...).
代码
Note that you could also make the training operation depend on the update operations:
with tf.name_scope("train"):
optimizer = tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer(learning_rate)
extra_update_ops = tf.get_collection(tf.GraphKeys.UPDATE_OPS)
with tf.control_dependencies(extra_update_ops):
training_op = optimizer.minimize(loss)
This way, you would just have to evaluate the training_op during training, TensorFlow would automatically run the update operations as well:
In TensorFlow, the optimizer’s minimize() function takes care of both computing the gradients and applying them, so you must instead call the optimizer’s compute_gradients() method first, then create an operation to clip the gradients using the clip_by_value() function, and finally create an operation to apply the clipped gradients using the optimizer’s apply_gradients() method.
