Type SoftmaxCentered

Namespace tensorflow.contrib.distributions.bijectors

Parent Bijector

Interfaces ISoftmaxCentered

Bijector which computes `Y = g(X) = exp([X 0]) / sum(exp([X 0]))`.

To implement [softmax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softmax_function) as a bijection, the forward transformation appends a value to the input and the inverse removes this coordinate. The appended coordinate represents a pivot, e.g., `softmax(x) = exp(x-c) / sum(exp(x-c))` where `c` is the implicit last coordinate.

Example Use: At first blush it may seem like the [Invariance of domain]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invariance_of_domain) theorem implies this implementation is not a bijection. However, the appended dimension makes the (forward) image non-open and the theorem does not directly apply.
Show Example 
bijector.SoftmaxCentered().forward(tf.math.log([2, 3, 4]))
            # Result: [0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.1]
            # Extra result: 0.1 
 bijector.SoftmaxCentered().inverse([0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.1])
# Result: tf.math.log([2, 3, 4])
# Extra coordinate removed.
