def softmax(x, axis=-1, dtype=None, name=None):
    r"""
    This operator implements the softmax layer. The calculation process is as follows:

    1. The dimension :attr:`axis` of ``x`` will be permuted to the last.

    2. Then ``x`` will be logically flattened to a 2-D matrix. The matrix's second
    dimension(row length) is the same as the dimension :attr:`axis` of ``x``,
    and the first dimension(column length) is the product of all other dimensions
    of ``x``. For each row of the matrix, the softmax operator squashes the
    K-dimensional(K is the width of the matrix, which is also the size of ``x``'s
    dimension :attr:`axis`) vector of arbitrary real values to a K-dimensional
    vector of real values in the range [0, 1] that add up to 1.

    3. After the softmax operation is completed, the inverse operations of steps 1 and 2
    are performed to restore the two-dimensional matrix to the same dimension as the ``x`` .

    It computes the exponential of the given dimension and the sum of exponential
    values of all the other dimensions in the K-dimensional vector input.
    Then the ratio of the exponential of the given dimension and the sum of
    exponential values of all the other dimensions is the output of the softmax
    operator.

    For each row :math:`i` and each column :math:`j` in the matrix, we have:

    .. math::

        softmax[i, j] = \frac{\exp(x[i, j])}{\sum_j(exp(x[i, j])}

def gumbel_softmax(x, temperature=1.0, hard=False, axis=-1, name=None):
    r"""
    Samples from the Gumbel-Softmax distribution and optionally discretizes.
    temperature is denoted by t. The calculation process is as follows:

    First, generate gumbel noise:

    .. math::

        G_i = -log(-log(U_i)), U_i \sim U(0,1)

    Second, add noise to ``x``:

    .. math::

        v = [x_1 + G_1,...,x_n + G_n]

    Finally, calculate gumbel_softmax and generate samples:

    .. math::
        gumbel\_softmax(v_i)=\frac{e^{v_i/t}}{\sum_{j=1}^n{e^{v_j/t}}},i=1,2,3...n

    Parameters:
        x (Tensor): An N-D Tensor, the first N - 1 dimensions index into a batch 
            of independent distributions and the last dimension represents 
            a vector of probabilities with datatype float32, float64.
        temperature (float, optional): non-negative scalar temperature.
            Default is 1.0.
        hard (bool, optional): if True, the returned samples will be discretized as 
            one-hot vectors, but will be differentiated as if it is the soft sample 
            in autograd. Default is False.
        axis (int, optional): The axis along will be calculated softmax value. 
            Default is -1.
        name (str, optional): Name for the operation (optional, default is None).
            For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.
    
    Returns:
        Sampled tensor of same shape as ``x`` from the Gumbel-Softmax distribution. 
        If ``hard = True``, the returned samples will be one-hot, otherwise they will be 
        probability distributions that sum to 1 across ``axis``.
