"""Computes softmax activations. This function performs the equivalent of softmax = tf.exp(logits) / tf.reduce_sum(tf.exp(logits), axis) Args: logits: A non-empty `Tensor`.

softmax函数的返回结果和输入的tensor有相同的shape，既然没有改变tensor的形状，那么softmax究竟对tensor做了什么？
答案就是softmax会以某一个轴的下标为索引，对这一轴上其他维度的值进行 激活 + 归一化处理。
一般来说，这个索引轴都是表示类别的那个维度（tf.nn.softmax中默认为axis=-1,也就是最后一个维度）

可以看到，对axis=0的轴做softmax时，输出结果在axis=0轴上和为1(eg: 0.1826746+0.8173254)，同理在axis=1轴上做的话结果的axis=1轴和也为1(eg: 0.0500392+0.33172426+0.61823654)。
这些值是怎么得到的呢？
以cc为例（沿着axis=0做softmax）：
以ccc为例（沿着axis=1做softmax）：
知道了计算方法，现在我们再来讨论一下这些值的实际意义：
cc[0,0]实际上表示这样一种概率： P( label = 0 | value = [-1.30022268 0.1981082] = c[*,0] ) = 0.1826746
cc[1,0]实际上表示这样一种概率： P( label = 1 | value = [-1.30022268 0.1981082] = c[*,0] ) = 0.8173254
ccc[0,0]实际上表示这样一种概率： P( label = 0 | value = [-1.30022268 0.59127472 1.21384177] = c[0]) = 0.0500392
ccc[0,1]实际上表示这样一种概率： P( label = 1 | value = [-1.30022268 0.59127472 1.21384177] = c[0]) = 0.33172426
ccc[0,2]实际上表示这样一种概率： P( label = 2 | value = [-1.30022268 0.59127472 1.21384177] = c[0]) = 0.61823654
将他们扩展到更多维的情况：假设c是一个[batch_size , timesteps, categories]的三维tensor
output = tf.nn.softmax(c,axis=-1)
那么 output[1, 2, 3] 则表示 P(label =3 | value = c[1,2] )
