     **Sampled Softmax With Cross Entropy Operator.**
 
     Cross entropy loss with sampled softmax is used as the output layer for 
     larger output classes extensively. This operator samples a number of samples

+    for all examples, and computes the softmax normalized values for each 
     row of the sampled tensor, after which cross-entropy loss is computed. 
-    This provides a more numerically stable gradient.

     unscaled logits. This operator should not be used with the output of
