% The following three lines of code implement the softmax.
% However, it's written differently from what the lectures say.
% In the lectures, a softmax is described using an exponential divided by a sum of exponentials.
% What we do here is exactly equivalent (you can check the math or just check it in practice), but this is more numerically stable.
% "Numerically stable" means that this way, there will never be really big numbers involved.
% The exponential in the lectures can lead to really big numbers, which are fine in mathematical equations, but can lead to all sorts of problems in Octave.
% Octave isn't well prepared to deal with really large numbers, like the number 10 to the power 1000. Computations with such numbers get unstable, so we avoid them.
