See how a temperature parameter sharpens or flattens a softmax distribution, which is the basis of model calibration.

| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature formula | temperature softmax divides logits by the temperature before exponentiation and normalisation | Hinton et al. 2015, knowledge distillation |
| Temperature effect | temperatures above one flatten the distribution and below one sharpen it | Guo et al. 2017, ICML calibration |
| Probability property | components are nonnegative and sum to one forming a valid discrete distribution | Bridle 1990, Neural Computation |
