What is the default kernel initializer in tf.layers.conv2d and tf.layers.dense?

Question

The official Tensorflow API doc claims that the parameter kernel_initializer defaults to None for tf.layers.conv2d and tf.layers

Answer 1

2.0 Compatible Answer: Even in Tensorflow 2.0, the Default Kernel Initializer in tf.keras.layers.Conv2D and tf.keras.layers.Dense is glorot_uniform.

This is specified in the Tensorflow.org Website.

Link for Conv2D is https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/layers/Conv2D?version=nightly#init

and the Link for Dense is
