Issue about the classification error

[Veeru Talreja]

I have a small question about the equation 4 in your T-PAMI paper.

The estimated value of y_nm is the softmax output of the output layer. But that value never goes less than zero or greater than 1. Therefore the first and second terms in the equation will never exist. It will always be the L1/ L2 norm term only. Am I correct in my understanding or is there something I am missing. I would really appreciate your reply.

Thank you
