Mixture of Softmaxes
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
Mixture of Softmaxes performs K different softmaxes and mixes them. The motivation is that the traditional softmax suffers from a softmax bottleneck, i.e. the expressiveness of the conditional probability we can model is constrained by the combination of a dot product and the softmax. By using a mixture of softmaxes, we can model the conditional probability more expressively.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
