下面是使用numpy的广义解，以及与tensorflow和scipy的正确性比较:

数据准备:

import numpy as np

np.random.seed(2019)

batch_size = 1
n_items = 3
n_classes = 2
logits_np = np.random.rand(batch_size,n_items,n_classes).astype(np.float32)
print('logits_np.shape', logits_np.shape)
print('logits_np:')
print(logits_np)

输出:

logits_np.shape (1, 3, 2)
logits_np:
[[[0.9034822  0.3930805 ]
  [0.62397    0.6378774 ]
  [0.88049906 0.299172  ]]]

使用tensorflow的Softmax:

import tensorflow as tf

logits_tf = tf.convert_to_tensor(logits_np, np.float32)
scores_tf = tf.nn.softmax(logits_np, axis=-1)

print('logits_tf.shape', logits_tf.shape)
print('scores_tf.shape', scores_tf.shape)

with tf.Session() as sess:
    scores_np = sess.run(scores_tf)

print('scores_np.shape', scores_np.shape)
print('scores_np:')
print(scores_np)

print('np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1).shape', np.sum(scores_np,axis=-1).shape)
print('np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1):')
print(np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1))

输出:

logits_tf.shape (1, 3, 2)
scores_tf.shape (1, 3, 2)
scores_np.shape (1, 3, 2)
scores_np:
[[[0.62490064 0.37509936]
  [0.4965232  0.5034768 ]
  [0.64137274 0.3586273 ]]]
np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1).shape (1, 3)
np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1):
[[1. 1. 1.]]

使用scipy的Softmax:

from scipy.special import softmax

scores_np = softmax(logits_np, axis=-1)

print('scores_np.shape', scores_np.shape)
print('scores_np:')
print(scores_np)

print('np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1).shape', np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1).shape)
print('np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1):')
print(np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1))

输出:

scores_np.shape (1, 3, 2)
scores_np:
[[[0.62490064 0.37509936]
  [0.4965232  0.5034768 ]
  [0.6413727  0.35862732]]]
np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1).shape (1, 3)
np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1):
[[1. 1. 1.]]

Softmax使用numpy (https://nolanbconaway.github.io/blog/2017/softmax-numpy):

def softmax(X, theta = 1.0, axis = None):
    """
    Compute the softmax of each element along an axis of X.

    Parameters
    ----------
    X: ND-Array. Probably should be floats.
    theta (optional): float parameter, used as a multiplier
        prior to exponentiation. Default = 1.0
    axis (optional): axis to compute values along. Default is the
        first non-singleton axis.

    Returns an array the same size as X. The result will sum to 1
    along the specified axis.
    """

    # make X at least 2d
    y = np.atleast_2d(X)

    # find axis
    if axis is None:
        axis = next(j[0] for j in enumerate(y.shape) if j[1] > 1)

    # multiply y against the theta parameter,
    y = y * float(theta)

    # subtract the max for numerical stability
    y = y - np.expand_dims(np.max(y, axis = axis), axis)

    # exponentiate y
    y = np.exp(y)

    # take the sum along the specified axis
    ax_sum = np.expand_dims(np.sum(y, axis = axis), axis)

    # finally: divide elementwise
    p = y / ax_sum

    # flatten if X was 1D
    if len(X.shape) == 1: p = p.flatten()

    return p


scores_np = softmax(logits_np, axis=-1)

print('scores_np.shape', scores_np.shape)
print('scores_np:')
print(scores_np)

print('np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1).shape', np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1).shape)
print('np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1):')
print(np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1))

输出:

scores_np.shape (1, 3, 2)
scores_np:
[[[0.62490064 0.37509936]
  [0.49652317 0.5034768 ]
  [0.64137274 0.3586273 ]]]
np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1).shape (1, 3)
np.sum(scores_np, axis=-1):
[[1. 1. 1.]]

这将泛化并假设您正在规范化尾随维度。

def softmax(x: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray:
    e_x = np.exp(x - np.max(x, axis=-1)[..., None])
    e_y = e_x.sum(axis=-1)[..., None]
    return e_x / e_y

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]]

参考:Tensorflow softmax

从数学的角度看，两边是相等的。

这很容易证明。m = max (x)。现在你的函数softmax返回一个向量，它的第i个坐标等于

注意，这适用于任何m，因为对于所有(甚至是复数)数e^m != 0

from computational complexity point of view they are also equivalent and both run in O(n) time, where n is the size of a vector. from numerical stability point of view, the first solution is preferred, because e^x grows very fast and even for pretty small values of x it will overflow. Subtracting the maximum value allows to get rid of this overflow. To practically experience the stuff I was talking about try to feed x = np.array([1000, 5]) into both of your functions. One will return correct probability, the second will overflow with nan your solution works only for vectors (Udacity quiz wants you to calculate it for matrices as well). In order to fix it you need to use sum(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]])

更简明的说法是:

def softmax(x):
    return np.exp(x) / np.exp(x).sum(axis=0)
