Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
prior to receiving the non-normalized output, generating a lookup table entry index for a first application and a value type having a first number of bits associated with the plurality of intermediate network decision values for the first application;
for each entry value of the lookup table entry index:
determining a range mapping from the each intermediate network decision value of the plurality of intermediate network decision values to a corresponding softmax input; and
inputting the respective fixed point value from the range mapping to the lookup table entry index;

determining duplicate entry values of the lookup table entry index having the zero value; and
removing the duplicate entry values of the lookup table entry index having the zero value from the entry lookup table index to generate the lookup table.
