Initializers

Motivation

For complex-valued glorot [GLOROT-2010] or He [HE-2015] initialization, one can not simply initialize real and complex part separately or one will not have the variance restrictions presented on the papers and therefore will lose its good properties. The theory on how to implement the initialization can be found in [TRABELESI-2017] section 3.6.
