[docs]class Categorical(Distribution): r""" Creates a categorical distribution parameterized by either :attr:`probs` or :attr:`logits` (but not both). .. note:: It is equivalent to the distribution that :func:`torch.multinomial` samples from. Samples are integers from :math:`\{0, \ldots, K-1\}` where `K` is ``probs.size(-1)``. If `probs` is 1-dimensional with length-`K`, each element is the relative probability of sampling the class at that index. If `probs` is N-dimensional, the first N-1 dimensions are treated as a batch of relative probability vectors. .. note:: The `probs` argument must be non-negative, finite and have a non-zero sum, and it will be normalized to sum to 1 along the last dimension. attr:`probs` will return this normalized value. The `logits` argument will be interpreted as unnormalized log probabilities and can therefore be any real number. It will likewise be normalized so that the resulting probabilities sum to 1 along the last dimension. attr:`logits` will return this normalized value.
