Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for processing a network input through a neural network having one or more initial neural network layers followed by a softmax output layer. In one aspect, the methods include obtaining a layer output generated by the one or more initial neural network layers and processing the layer output through the softmax output layer to generate a neural network output. Processing the layer output through the softmax output layer includes determining, for each possible output value, a number of occurrences in the layer output values; for each possible output value occurring in the layer output values, determining a respective exponentiation measure; determining a normalization factor for the layer output by combining the exponentiation measures in accordance with the number of occurrences of the possible output values; and determining, for each of layer output values, a softmax probability value.
