-def softmax(input, use_cudnn=True, name=None, axis=-1):
-    r"""
-    This operator implements the softmax layer. The calculation process is as follows:
-
-    1. The dimension :attr:`axis` of the ``input`` will be permuted to the last.
-
-    2. Then the input tensor 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 the input
-    tensor, and the first dimension(column length) is the product of all other
-    dimensions of the input tensor. 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 the input tensor'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 ``input``.
-
-    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::
-
-        Out[i, j] = \\frac{\\exp(X[i, j])}{\\sum_j(exp(X[i, j])}
