Machine learning is the future for the next generation of software professionals.

This course serves as a guide to machine learning for software engineers. You’ll be introduced to three of the most relevant components of the AI/ML discipline; supervised learning, neural networks, and deep learning. You’ll grasp the differences between traditional programming and machine learning by hands-on development in supervised learning before building out complex distributed applications with neural networks. You’ll go even further by layering networks to create deep learning systems. You’ll work with complex real-world datasets to explore machine behavior from scratch at each phase.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a working knowledge of modern machine learning techniques. Using software engineering, you’ll be prepared to build complex neural networks and wrangle real-world data challenges.

Fundamentals of Machine Learning for Software Engineers

## Writing the softmax function

We need to write the `softmax()` activation function to complete forward propagation. As it turns out, we can implement `softmax()` in two lines of code—but those two lines require some attention.

Here is the mathematical formula of the softmax:

$$ \large{\text{softmax}(l_i) = \frac{e^{l_i}}{\sum{e^l}}} $$

And that formula converted to code:
