Summary
The Glorot uniform initializer, also known as Xavier uniform initializer, draws samples from a uniform distribution within
, where limit is sqrt(6 / (fan_in + fan_out)).
1
This limit is based on the number of nodes in the network, referred to as the "fan-in" and the "fan-out".

Therefore, Glorot uniform initialization uses limits that are based on the number of nodes in the network: sqrt( 6 / (nin + nout)).
