"""

This script demonstrates the implementation of the Softmax function.

Its a function that takes as input a vector of K real numbers, and normalizes

it into a probability distribution consisting of K probabilities proportional

to the exponentials of the input numbers. After softmax, the elements of the

vector always sum up to 1.

Script inspired from its corresponding Wikipedia article

"""

Implements the softmax function

Parameters:

vector (np.array,list,tuple): A numpy array of shape (1,n)

consisting of real values or a similar list,tuple

Returns:

softmax_vec (np.array): The input numpy array after applying

softmax.

The softmax vector adds up to one. We need to ceil to mitigate for

precision

>>> np.ceil(np.sum(softmax([1,2,3,4])))

1.0

>>> vec = np.array([5,5])

>>> softmax(vec)

array([0.5, 0.5])

>>> softmax([0])

array([1.])
