is basically a probability distribution and let's say you have three classes here there's dog there's cat and there's horse and let's say the network doesn't yet isn't yet trained very well so the probability for dog here is fairly low so this is basically what the network thinks of that image like which class does it belong to with what probability I also have this label right here so the labeled dog for that image what you do with that is you do a one hot vector so that would look like this so the one is at the position where the correct class
