Unlock: Log-Probability Computation
Working in log space prevents underflow when multiplying many small probabilities. The log-sum-exp trick provides a numerically stable way to compute log of a sum of exponentials, and it underlies stable softmax, log-likelihoods, and the forward algorithm for HMMs.
