Softmax mockery
Despite years of research, Loretta never paid too much attention to the softmax function and its properties. She never needed it, so imagine her surprise when Alan pushed her about it.
Alan was cooky. He didn’t know much but liked to show off with every bit of trivia that crossed his path. More than anything, he enjoyed pissing off Loretta at every opportunity he had.
And here is Alan, bugging Loretta about the softmax function and ready to mock her if she fails.
Which of the following are correct statements about the softmax function?
The softmax function is a soft or smooth approximation to the max function.
The softmax function is a soft or smooth approximation to the argmax function.
The softmax function converts a vector of n values into a probability distribution of n possible outcomes.
Softmax is a differentiable function.
