In a suggested edit review I noted a user suggesting a new tag I have rejected a couple of edits but I might be wrong doing so (I am new to that review queue). I think we don't need that tag.

  • Does it describe the contents of the questions to which it is applied? and is it unambiguous?

    It doesn't have a description of the tag.

  • Is the concept described even on-topic for the site?

    It seems that it is about a specific function of neural networks

  • Does the tag add any meaningful information to the post?

    It could, but I am unsure, because then we could create a tag for each function used in neural networks.

  • Does it mean the same thing in all common contexts?

    I think the majority of this question has been tagged by the same user following the same common context neural network. (sometimes the post don't refer to softmax AFAIK)

    What is it meant to refer to? Do you know? If not, then you are probably not the best person to be posting a burninate request. Looks to me like it is a specific type of mathematical function that may be relevant to computer science. Why do you think that this is a bad tag? Lack of a description is trivially fixable, that's not a reason to burninate. Also, your assumption about a new user creating the tag is wrong—there are a number of questions with this tag, and they've had it for longer than a few days. Commented Jan 10, 2017 at 9:26

The softmax is a function, just like and .

I agree that it should include a description, but it is not unambiguous.

I went through many of questions that are tagged with it, most of them are on-topic and the tag actually describes the content, and it means the same in all common contexts. I don't think it should be burninated.

    In fact, I was just using this term to search for logic behind the use of this last week, and found a great answer. At the very least, it's a good search term. Commented Jan 10, 2017 at 15:21
