从Udacity的深度学习课程中，y_i的softmax仅仅是指数除以整个Y向量的指数之和:
其中S(y_i)是y_i的软最大函数e是指数函数j是no。输入向量Y中的列。
我试过以下几种方法:
import numpy as np
def softmax(x):
"""Compute softmax values for each sets of scores in x."""
e_x = np.exp(x - np.max(x))
return e_x / e_x.sum()
scores = [3.0, 1.0, 0.2]
print(softmax(scores))
返回:
[ 0.8360188 0.11314284 0.05083836]
但建议的解决方案是:
def softmax(x):
"""Compute softmax values for each sets of scores in x."""
return np.exp(x) / np.sum(np.exp(x), axis=0)
它产生与第一个实现相同的输出，尽管第一个实现显式地取每列与Max的差值，然后除以和。
有人能用数学方法解释一下吗?一个是对的，另一个是错的?
实现在代码和时间复杂度方面是否相似?哪个更有效率?
在上面的回答中已经回答了很多细节。Max被减去以避免溢出。我在这里添加了python3中的另一个实现。
import numpy as np
def softmax(x):
mx = np.amax(x,axis=1,keepdims = True)
x_exp = np.exp(x - mx)
x_sum = np.sum(x_exp, axis = 1, keepdims = True)
res = x_exp / x_sum
return res
x = np.array([[3,2,4],[4,5,6]])
print(softmax(x))
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
def softmax(x):
return (np.exp(x).T / np.exp(x).sum(axis=-1)).T
logits = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [3, 10, 1], [1, 2, 5], [4, 6.5, 1.2], [3, 6, 1]])
sess = tf.Session()
print(softmax(logits))
print(sess.run(tf.nn.softmax(logits)))
sess.close()
The purpose of the softmax function is to preserve the ratio of the vectors as opposed to squashing the end-points with a sigmoid as the values saturate (i.e. tend to +/- 1 (tanh) or from 0 to 1 (logistical)). This is because it preserves more information about the rate of change at the end-points and thus is more applicable to neural nets with 1-of-N Output Encoding (i.e. if we squashed the end-points it would be harder to differentiate the 1-of-N output class because we can't tell which one is the "biggest" or "smallest" because they got squished.); also it makes the total output sum to 1, and the clear winner will be closer to 1 while other numbers that are close to each other will sum to 1/p, where p is the number of output neurons with similar values.
从向量中减去最大值的目的是，当你计算e^y指数时，你可能会得到非常高的值，将浮点数夹在最大值处，导致平局，但在这个例子中不是这样。如果你减去最大值得到一个负数，那么就会出现一个大问题，然后你就会得到一个负指数，它会迅速缩小数值，改变比率，这就是在海报上的问题中发生的情况，并得到错误的答案。
Udacity提供的答案效率低得可怕。我们需要做的第一件事是计算所有向量分量的e^y_j, KEEP这些值，然后求和，然后除。Udacity搞砸的地方是他们计算了两次e^y_j !!正确答案如下:
def softmax(y):
e_to_the_y_j = np.exp(y)
return e_to_the_y_j / np.sum(e_to_the_y_j, axis=0)
根据所有的回复和CS231n的注释，请允许我总结如下:
def softmax(x, axis):
x -= np.max(x, axis=axis, keepdims=True)
return np.exp(x) / np.exp(x).sum(axis=axis, keepdims=True)
用法:
x = np.array([[1, 0, 2,-1],
[2, 4, 6, 8],
[3, 2, 1, 0]])
softmax(x, axis=1).round(2)
输出:
array([[0.24, 0.09, 0.64, 0.03],
[0. , 0.02, 0.12, 0.86],
[0.64, 0.24, 0.09, 0.03]])
我需要一些与Tensorflow的密集层输出兼容的东西。
来自@desertnaut的解决方案在本例中不起作用，因为我有一批数据。因此，我提出了另一个解决方案，应该在这两种情况下工作:
def softmax(x, axis=-1):
e_x = np.exp(x - np.max(x)) # same code
return e_x / e_x.sum(axis=axis, keepdims=True)
结果:
logits = np.asarray([
[-0.0052024, -0.00770216, 0.01360943, -0.008921], # 1
[-0.0052024, -0.00770216, 0.01360943, -0.008921] # 2
])
print(softmax(logits))
#[[0.2492037 0.24858153 0.25393605 0.24827873]
# [0.2492037 0.24858153 0.25393605 0.24827873]]
