+
+  Perplexity is a measurement of how well a probability distribution predicts a
+  sample. It is defined as the exponentiation of the cross-entropy. A low
+  perplexity indicates the probability distribution is good at predicting the
+  sample.
+
+  For language models, it can be interpreted as the weighted average branching
