Fusing bnorm parameters with my linear parameters

Basically I want to Remove the Bnorm layer in my alexnet model,So thought of fusing the Bnorm parameters(weight,bias), with linear parameters and replace the bnorm layer with dummy class

  • Can I fuse it? as linear follows the Bnorm(Bnorm comes first and then linear) for last FC layer

  • if it so, please provide the code to do it

I have already fused the first layer Conv2d(weights,bias) with Bnorm2d by using the below code

  • can i use the same below code to fusing
