Model Training & Adaptation
Softmax
A calculation that turns scores into positive shares adding up to one, often used to express predicted chances.
Example
AI turns several group scores into shares that add up to one.
Why people use it
It puts a set of raw scores onto a shared scale that adds up to one.
What you'll hear
“Turn those scores into comparable shares.”
What this means for you
Check those estimated chances against real results before relying on them.
Can you control it?
Developer-only
The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.
Common questions
- Does turning scores into chances make them trustworthy?
- No. The resulting numbers can still overstate or understate how often the predicted events actually happen.
- Can changing one score affect the others' shares?
- Yes. The values are converted together, so one larger score can reduce the shares of the other choices.
- Does the largest share mean the choice is certain?
- No. It only describes the result of the calculation for the available choices.
