"""
This function constructs and applies a Scan op to the provided
arguments.
:param fn:
``fn`` is a function that describes the operations involved in one
step of ``scan``. ``fn`` should construct variables describing the
output of one iteration step. It should expect as input theano
variables representing all the slices of the input sequences
and previous values of the outputs, as well as all other arguments
given to scan as ``non_sequences``. The order in which scan passes
these variables to ``fn`` is the following :
* all time slices of the first sequence
* all time slices of the second sequence
* ...
* all time slices of the last sequence
* all past slices of the first output
* all past slices of the second otuput
* ...
* all past slices of the last output
* all other arguments (the list given as `non_sequences` to
scan)
The order of the sequences is the same as the one in the list
`sequences` given to scan. The order of the outputs is the same
as the order of ``output_info``. For any sequence or output the
order of the time slices is the same as the one in which they have
been given as taps. For example if one writes the following :
.. code-block:: python
scan(fn, sequences = [ dict(input= Sequence1, taps = [-3,2,-1])
, Sequence2
, dict(input = Sequence3, taps = 3) ]
, outputs_info = [ dict(initial = Output1, taps = [-3,-5])
, dict(initial = Output2, taps = None)
, Output3 ]
, non_sequences = [ Argument1, Argument 2])
``fn`` should expect the following arguments in this given order:
#. ``Sequence1[t-3]``
#. ``Sequence1[t+2]``
#. ``Sequence1[t-1]``
#. ``Sequence2[t]``
#. ``Sequence3[t+3]``
#. ``Output1[t-3]``
#. ``Output1[t-5]``
#. ``Output3[t-1]``
#. ``Argument1``
#. ``Argument2``
The list of ``non_sequences`` can also contain shared variables
used in the function, though ``scan`` is able to figure those
out on its own so they can be skipped. For the clarity of the
code we recommand though to provide them to scan. To some extend
``scan`` can also figure out other ``non sequences`` (not shared)
even if not passed to scan (but used by `fn`). A simple example of
this would be :
.. code-block:: python
import theano.tensor as TT
W = TT.matrix()
W_2 = W**2
def f(x):
return TT.dot(x,W_2)
The function is expected to return two things. One is a list of
outputs ordered in the same order as ``outputs_info``, with the
difference that there should be only one output variable per
output initial state (even if no tap value is used). Secondly
`fn` should return an update dictionary (that tells how to
update any shared variable after each iteration step). The
dictionary can optionally be given as a list of tuples. There is
no constraint on the order of these two list, ``fn`` can return
either ``(outputs_list, update_dictionary)`` or
``(update_dictionary, outputs_list)`` or just one of the two (in
case the other is empty).
To use ``scan`` as a while loop, the user needs to change the
function ``fn`` such that also a stopping condition is returned.
To do so, he/she needs to wrap the condition in an ``until`` class.
The condition should be returned as a third element, for example:
.. code-block:: python
...
return [y1_t, y2_t], {x:x+1}, theano.scan_module.until(x < 50)
Note that a number of steps (considered in here as the maximum
number of steps ) is still required even though a condition is
passed (and it is used to allocate memory if needed). = {}):
:param sequences:
``sequences`` is the list of Theano variables or dictionaries
describing the sequences ``scan`` has to iterate over. If a
sequence is given as wrapped in a dictionary, then a set of optional
information can be provided about the sequence. The dictionary
should have the following keys:
* ``input`` (*mandatory*) -- Theano variable representing the
sequence.
* ``taps`` -- Temporal taps of the sequence required by ``fn``.
They are provided as a list of integers, where a value ``k``
impiles that at iteration step ``t`` scan will pass to ``fn``
the slice ``t+k``. Default value is ``[0]``
Any Theano variable in the list ``sequences`` is automatically
wrapped into a dictionary where ``taps`` is set to ``[0]``
:param outputs_info:
``outputs_info`` is the list of Theano variables or dictionaries
describing the initial state of the outputs computed
recurrently. When this initial states are given as dictionary
optional information can be provided about the output corresponding
to these initial states. The dictionary should have the following
keys:
* ``initial`` -- Theano variable that represents the initial
state of a given output. In case the output is not computed
recursively (think of a map) and does not require a initial
state this field can be skiped. Given that only the previous
time step of the output is used by ``fn`` the initial state
should have the same shape as the output. If multiple time
taps are used, the initial state should have one extra
dimension that should cover all the possible taps. For example
if we use ``-5``, ``-2`` and ``-1`` as past taps, at step 0,
``fn`` will require (by an abuse of notation) ``output[-5]``,
``output[-2]`` and ``output[-1]``. This will be given by
the initial state, which in this case should have the shape
(5,)+output.shape. If this variable containing the initial
state is called ``init_y`` then ``init_y[0]`` *corresponds to*
``output[-5]``. ``init_y[1]`` *correponds to* ``output[-4]``,
``init_y[2]`` corresponds to ``output[-3]``, ``init_y[3]``
coresponds to ``output[-2]``, ``init_y[4]`` corresponds to
``output[-1]``. While this order might seem strange, it comes
natural from splitting an array at a given point. Assume that
we have a array ``x``, and we choose ``k`` to be time step
``0``. Then our initial state would be ``x[:k]``, while the
output will be ``x[k:]``. Looking at this split, elements in
``x[:k]`` are ordered exactly like those in ``init_y``.
* ``taps`` -- Temporal taps of the output that will be pass to
``fn``. They are provided as a list of *negative* integers,
where a value ``k`` implies that at iteration step ``t`` scan
will pass to ``fn`` the slice ``t+k``.
``scan`` will follow this logic if partial information is given:
* If an output is not wrapped in a dictionary, ``scan`` will wrap
it in one assuming that you use only the last step of the output
(i.e. it makes your tap value list equal to [-1]).
* If you wrap an output in a dictionary and you do not provide any
taps but you provide an initial state it will assume that you are
using only a tap value of -1.
* If you wrap an output in a dictionary but you do not provide any
initial state, it assumes that you are not using any form of
taps.
* If you provide a ``None`` instead of a variable or a empty
dictionary ``scan`` assumes that you will not use any taps for
this output (like for example in case of a map)
If ``outputs_info`` is an empty list or None, ``scan`` assumes
that no tap is used for any of the outputs. If information is
provided just for a subset of the outputs an exception is
raised (because there is no convention on how scan should map
the provided information to the outputs of ``fn``)
:param non_sequences:
``non_sequences`` is the list of arguments that are passed to
``fn`` at each steps. One can opt to exclude variable
used in ``fn`` from this list as long as they are part of the
computational graph, though for clarity we encourage not to do so.
:param n_steps:
``n_steps`` is the number of steps to iterate given as an int
or Theano scalar. If any of the input sequences do not have
enough elements, scan will raise an error. If the *value is 0* the
outputs will have *0 rows*. If the value is negative, ``scan``
will run backwards in time. If the ``go_backwards`` flag is already
set and also ``n_steps`` is negative, ``scan`` will run forward
in time. If n stpes is not provided, ``scan`` will figure
out the amount of steps it should run given its input sequences.
:param truncate_gradient:
``truncate_gradient`` is the number of steps to use in truncated
BPTT. If you compute gradients through a scan op, they are
computed using backpropagation through time. By providing a
different value then -1, you choose to use truncated BPTT instead
of classical BPTT, where you go for only ``truncate_gradient``
number of steps back in time.
:param go_backwards:
``go_backwards`` is a flag indicating if ``scan`` should go
backwards through the sequences. If you think of each sequence
as indexed by time, making this flag True would mean that
``scan`` goes back in time, namely that for any sequence it
starts from the end and goes towards 0.
:param name:
When profiling ``scan``, it is crucial to provide a name for any
instance of ``scan``. The profiler will produce an overall
profile of your code as well as profiles for the computation of
one step of each instance of ``scan``. The ``name`` of the instance
appears in those profiles and can greatly help to disambiguate
information.
:param mode:
It is recommended to leave this argument to None, especially
when profiling ``scan`` (otherwise the results are not going to
be accurate). If you prefer the computations of one step of
``scan`` to be done differently then the entire function, you
can use this parameter to describe how the computations in this
loop are done (see ``theano.function`` for details about
possible values and their meaning).
:param profile:
Flag or string. If true, or different from the empty string, a
profile object will be created and attached to the inner graph of
scan. In case ``profile`` is True, the profile object will have the
name of the scan instance, otherwise it will have the passed string.
Profile object collect (and print) information only when running the
inner graph with the new cvm linker ( with default modes,
other linkers this argument is useless)
:rtype: tuple
:return: tuple of the form (outputs, updates); ``outputs`` is either a
Theano variable or a list of Theano variables representing the
outputs of ``scan`` (in the same order as in
``outputs_info``). ``updates`` is a subclass of dictionary
specifying the
update rules for all shared variables used in scan
This dictionary should be passed to ``theano.function`` when
you compile your function. The change compared to a normal
dictionary is that we validate that keys are SharedVariable
and addition of those dictionary are validated to be consistent.

Similar to Theano's official scan, this function gives the user more
control over the scan op, avoiding certain difficulties that arose from
missing optimizations.
:param fn: lambda function that describes one step of scan (see the
official Theano scan function)
:param sequences: similar to the official Theano's scan. This version
of scan does not support taps for the sequences (it can only be a
list of tensor). Scan assumes that sequences have the right length
and it does not check for this.
:param states: similar to outputs_info of the official scan function.
There is one crucial difference though, namely that the `initial`
key in the dictionary has been replace by 'membuf' key. This
reflects the change of meaning. Instead of passing to scan just
the initial steps misisng, one has now to pass a memory buffer in
which scan will try to store its output. In this memory buffer the
first entries should be set to the initial states of the
corresponding states.
Providing a memory buffer that has less entries then the number of
steps, mneans scan will only use that amount of memory. The user has
to match the memory buffer size with the number of steps, otherwise
scan will produce wrong results. Also if gradients are to be
computed through the scan, the memory buffer should have the same
length as the number of steps.
For states that do not require a initial state, one has to provide a
dictionary with a single key 'steps' that says how many intermediate
results to store. See examples below for more insight.
:param n_steps: This parameter is mandatory and it will represent the
number of steps scan will do (scan will not check sequences or any
other source of information to figure out how many steps it needs
to do).

- the outputs returned by scan contain the initial states as well (i.e.

al intermediate results, my output will be of length k+3
Examples:

last one)

This function constructs and applies a Scan op to the provided
arguments.
:param fn:
``fn`` is a function that describes the operations involved in one
step of ``scan``. ``fn`` should construct variables describing the
output of one iteration step. It should expect as input theano
variables representing all the slices of the input sequences
and previous values of the outputs, as well as all other arguments
given to scan as ``non_sequences``. The order in which scan passes
these variables to ``fn`` is the following :
* all time slices of the first sequence
* all time slices of the second sequence
* ...
* all time slices of the last sequence
* all past slices of the first output
* all past slices of the second otuput
* ...
* all past slices of the last output
* all other arguments (the list given as `non_sequences` to
scan)
The order of the sequences is the same as the one in the list
`sequences` given to scan. The order of the outputs is the same
as the order of ``output_info``. For any sequence or output the
order of the time slices is the same as the one in which they have
been given as taps. For example if one writes the following :
.. code-block:: python
scan(fn, sequences = [ dict(input= Sequence1, taps = [-3,2,-1])
, Sequence2
, dict(input = Sequence3, taps = 3) ]
, outputs_info = [ dict(initial = Output1, taps = [-3,-5])
, dict(initial = Output2, taps = None)
, Output3 ]
, non_sequences = [ Argument1, Argument 2])
``fn`` should expect the following arguments in this given order:
#. ``Sequence1[t-3]``
#. ``Sequence1[t+2]``
#. ``Sequence1[t-1]``
#. ``Sequence2[t]``
#. ``Sequence3[t+3]``
#. ``Output1[t-3]``
#. ``Output1[t-5]``
#. ``Output3[t-1]``
#. ``Argument1``
#. ``Argument2``
The list of ``non_sequences`` can also contain shared variables
used in the function, though ``scan`` is able to figure those
out on its own so they can be skipped. For the clarity of the
code we recommand though to provide them to scan. To some extend
``scan`` can also figure out other ``non sequences`` (not shared)
even if not passed to scan (but used by `fn`). A simple example of
this would be :
.. code-block:: python
import theano.tensor as TT
W = TT.matrix()
W_2 = W**2
def f(x):
return TT.dot(x,W_2)
The function is expected to return two things. One is a list of
outputs ordered in the same order as ``outputs_info``, with the
difference that there should be only one output variable per
output initial state (even if no tap value is used). Secondly
`fn` should return an update dictionary (that tells how to
update any shared variable after each iteration step). The
dictionary can optionally be given as a list of tuples. There is
no constraint on the order of these two list, ``fn`` can return
either ``(outputs_list, update_dictionary)`` or
``(update_dictionary, outputs_list)`` or just one of the two (in
case the other is empty).
To use ``scan`` as a while loop, the user needs to change the
function ``fn`` such that also a stopping condition is returned.
To do so, he/she needs to wrap the condition in an ``until`` class.
The condition should be returned as a third element, for example:
.. code-block:: python
...
return [y1_t, y2_t], {x:x+1}, theano.scan_module.until(x < 50)
Note that a number of steps (considered in here as the maximum
number of steps ) is still required even though a condition is
passed (and it is used to allocate memory if needed). = {}):
:param sequences:
``sequences`` is the list of Theano variables or dictionaries
describing the sequences ``scan`` has to iterate over. If a
sequence is given as wrapped in a dictionary, then a set of optional
information can be provided about the sequence. The dictionary
should have the following keys:
* ``input`` (*mandatory*) -- Theano variable representing the
sequence.
* ``taps`` -- Temporal taps of the sequence required by ``fn``.
They are provided as a list of integers, where a value ``k``
impiles that at iteration step ``t`` scan will pass to ``fn``
the slice ``t+k``. Default value is ``[0]``
Any Theano variable in the list ``sequences`` is automatically
wrapped into a dictionary where ``taps`` is set to ``[0]``
:param outputs_info:
``outputs_info`` is the list of Theano variables or dictionaries
describing the initial state of the outputs computed
recurrently. When this initial states are given as dictionary
optional information can be provided about the output corresponding
to these initial states. The dictionary should have the following
keys:
* ``initial`` -- Theano variable that represents the initial
state of a given output. In case the output is not computed
recursively (think of a map) and does not require a initial
state this field can be skiped. Given that only the previous
time step of the output is used by ``fn`` the initial state
should have the same shape as the output. If multiple time
taps are used, the initial state should have one extra
dimension that should cover all the possible taps. For example
if we use ``-5``, ``-2`` and ``-1`` as past taps, at step 0,
``fn`` will require (by an abuse of notation) ``output[-5]``,
``output[-2]`` and ``output[-1]``. This will be given by
the initial state, which in this case should have the shape
(5,)+output.shape. If this variable containing the initial
state is called ``init_y`` then ``init_y[0]`` *corresponds to*
``output[-5]``. ``init_y[1]`` *correponds to* ``output[-4]``,
``init_y[2]`` corresponds to ``output[-3]``, ``init_y[3]``
coresponds to ``output[-2]``, ``init_y[4]`` corresponds to
``output[-1]``. While this order might seem strange, it comes
natural from splitting an array at a given point. Assume that
we have a array ``x``, and we choose ``k`` to be time step
``0``. Then our initial state would be ``x[:k]``, while the
output will be ``x[k:]``. Looking at this split, elements in
``x[:k]`` are ordered exactly like those in ``init_y``.
* ``taps`` -- Temporal taps of the output that will be pass to
``fn``. They are provided as a list of *negative* integers,
where a value ``k`` implies that at iteration step ``t`` scan
will pass to ``fn`` the slice ``t+k``.
``scan`` will follow this logic if partial information is given:
* If an output is not wrapped in a dictionary, ``scan`` will wrap
it in one assuming that you use only the last step of the output
(i.e. it makes your tap value list equal to [-1]).
* If you wrap an output in a dictionary and you do not provide any
taps but you provide an initial state it will assume that you are
using only a tap value of -1.
* If you wrap an output in a dictionary but you do not provide any
initial state, it assumes that you are not using any form of
taps.
* If you provide a ``None`` instead of a variable or a empty
dictionary ``scan`` assumes that you will not use any taps for
this output (like for example in case of a map)
If ``outputs_info`` is an empty list or None, ``scan`` assumes
that no tap is used for any of the outputs. If information is
provided just for a subset of the outputs an exception is
raised (because there is no convention on how scan should map
the provided information to the outputs of ``fn``)
:param non_sequences:
``non_sequences`` is the list of arguments that are passed to
``fn`` at each steps. One can opt to exclude variable
used in ``fn`` from this list as long as they are part of the
computational graph, though for clarity we encourage not to do so.
:param n_steps:
``n_steps`` is the number of steps to iterate given as an int
or Theano scalar. If any of the input sequences do not have
enough elements, scan will raise an error. If the *value is 0* the
outputs will have *0 rows*. If the value is negative, ``scan``
will run backwards in time. If the ``go_backwards`` flag is already
set and also ``n_steps`` is negative, ``scan`` will run forward
in time. If n stpes is not provided, ``scan`` will figure
out the amount of steps it should run given its input sequences.
:param truncate_gradient:
``truncate_gradient`` is the number of steps to use in truncated
BPTT. If you compute gradients through a scan op, they are
computed using backpropagation through time. By providing a
different value then -1, you choose to use truncated BPTT instead
of classical BPTT, where you go for only ``truncate_gradient``
number of steps back in time.
:param go_backwards:
``go_backwards`` is a flag indicating if ``scan`` should go
backwards through the sequences. If you think of each sequence
as indexed by time, making this flag True would mean that
``scan`` goes back in time, namely that for any sequence it
starts from the end and goes towards 0.
:param name:
When profiling ``scan``, it is crucial to provide a name for any
instance of ``scan``. The profiler will produce an overall
profile of your code as well as profiles for the computation of
one step of each instance of ``scan``. The ``name`` of the instance
appears in those profiles and can greatly help to disambiguate
information.
:param mode:
It is recommended to leave this argument to None, especially
when profiling ``scan`` (otherwise the results are not going to
be accurate). If you prefer the computations of one step of
``scan`` to be done differently then the entire function, you
can use this parameter to describe how the computations in this
loop are done (see ``theano.function`` for details about
possible values and their meaning).
:param profile:
Flag or string. If true, or different from the empty string, a
profile object will be created and attached to the inner graph of
scan. In case ``profile`` is True, the profile object will have the
name of the scan instance, otherwise it will have the passed string.
Profile object collect (and print) information only when running the
inner graph with the new cvm linker ( with default modes,
other linkers this argument is useless)
:rtype: tuple
:return: tuple of the form (outputs, updates); ``outputs`` is either a
Theano variable or a list of Theano variables representing the
outputs of ``scan`` (in the same order as in
``outputs_info``). ``updates`` is a subclass of dictionary
specifying the
update rules for all shared variables used in scan
This dictionary should be passed to ``theano.function`` when
you compile your function. The change compared to a normal
dictionary is that we validate that keys are SharedVariable
and addition of those dictionary are validated to be consistent.

This function constructs and applies a Scan op to the provided
arguments.
:param fn:
``fn`` is a function that describes the operations involved in one
step of ``scan``. ``fn`` should construct variables describing the
output of one iteration step. It should expect as input theano
variables representing all the slices of the input sequences
and previous values of the outputs, as well as all other arguments
given to scan as ``non_sequences``. The order in which scan passes
these variables to ``fn`` is the following :
* all time slices of the first sequence
* all time slices of the second sequence
* ...
* all time slices of the last sequence
* all past slices of the first output
* all past slices of the second otuput
* ...
* all past slices of the last output
* all other arguments (the list given as `non_sequences` to
scan)
The order of the sequences is the same as the one in the list
`sequences` given to scan. The order of the outputs is the same
as the order of ``output_info``. For any sequence or output the
order of the time slices is the same as the one in which they have
been given as taps. For example if one writes the following :
.. code-block:: python
scan(fn, sequences = [ dict(input= Sequence1, taps = [-3,2,-1])
, Sequence2
, dict(input = Sequence3, taps = 3) ]
, outputs_info = [ dict(initial = Output1, taps = [-3,-5])
, dict(initial = Output2, taps = None)
, Output3 ]
, non_sequences = [ Argument1, Argument 2])
``fn`` should expect the following arguments in this given order:
#. ``Sequence1[t-3]``
#. ``Sequence1[t+2]``
#. ``Sequence1[t-1]``
#. ``Sequence2[t]``
#. ``Sequence3[t+3]``
#. ``Output1[t-3]``
#. ``Output1[t-5]``
#. ``Output3[t-1]``
#. ``Argument1``
#. ``Argument2``
The list of ``non_sequences`` can also contain shared variables
used in the function, though ``scan`` is able to figure those
out on its own so they can be skipped. For the clarity of the
code we recommand though to provide them to scan. To some extend
``scan`` can also figure out other ``non sequences`` (not shared)
even if not passed to scan (but used by `fn`). A simple example of
this would be :
.. code-block:: python
import theano.tensor as TT
W = TT.matrix()
W_2 = W**2
def f(x):
return TT.dot(x,W_2)
The function is expected to return two things. One is a list of
outputs ordered in the same order as ``outputs_info``, with the
difference that there should be only one output variable per
output initial state (even if no tap value is used). Secondly
`fn` should return an update dictionary (that tells how to
update any shared variable after each iteration step). The
dictionary can optionally be given as a list of tuples. There is
no constraint on the order of these two list, ``fn`` can return
either ``(outputs_list, update_dictionary)`` or
``(update_dictionary, outputs_list)`` or just one of the two (in
case the other is empty).
To use ``scan`` as a while loop, the user needs to change the
function ``fn`` such that also a stopping condition is returned.
To do so, he/she needs to wrap the condition in an ``until`` class.
The condition should be returned as a third element, for example:
.. code-block:: python
...
return [y1_t, y2_t], {x:x+1}, theano.scan_module.until(x < 50)
Note that a number of steps (considered in here as the maximum
number of steps ) is still required even though a condition is
passed (and it is used to allocate memory if needed). = {}):
:param sequences:
``sequences`` is the list of Theano variables or dictionaries
describing the sequences ``scan`` has to iterate over. If a
sequence is given as wrapped in a dictionary, then a set of optional
information can be provided about the sequence. The dictionary
should have the following keys:
* ``input`` (*mandatory*) -- Theano variable representing the
sequence.
* ``taps`` -- Temporal taps of the sequence required by ``fn``.
They are provided as a list of integers, where a value ``k``
impiles that at iteration step ``t`` scan will pass to ``fn``
the slice ``t+k``. Default value is ``[0]``
Any Theano variable in the list ``sequences`` is automatically
wrapped into a dictionary where ``taps`` is set to ``[0]``
:param outputs_info:
``outputs_info`` is the list of Theano variables or dictionaries
describing the initial state of the outputs computed
recurrently. When this initial states are given as dictionary
optional information can be provided about the output corresponding
to these initial states. The dictionary should have the following
keys:
* ``initial`` -- Theano variable that represents the initial
state of a given output. In case the output is not computed
recursively (think of a map) and does not require a initial
state this field can be skiped. Given that only the previous
time step of the output is used by ``fn`` the initial state
should have the same shape as the output. If multiple time
taps are used, the initial state should have one extra
dimension that should cover all the possible taps. For example
if we use ``-5``, ``-2`` and ``-1`` as past taps, at step 0,
``fn`` will require (by an abuse of notation) ``output[-5]``,
``output[-2]`` and ``output[-1]``. This will be given by
the initial state, which in this case should have the shape
(5,)+output.shape. If this variable containing the initial
state is called ``init_y`` then ``init_y[0]`` *corresponds to*
``output[-5]``. ``init_y[1]`` *correponds to* ``output[-4]``,
``init_y[2]`` corresponds to ``output[-3]``, ``init_y[3]``
coresponds to ``output[-2]``, ``init_y[4]`` corresponds to
``output[-1]``. While this order might seem strange, it comes
natural from splitting an array at a given point. Assume that
we have a array ``x``, and we choose ``k`` to be time step
``0``. Then our initial state would be ``x[:k]``, while the
output will be ``x[k:]``. Looking at this split, elements in
``x[:k]`` are ordered exactly like those in ``init_y``.
* ``taps`` -- Temporal taps of the output that will be pass to
``fn``. They are provided as a list of *negative* integers,
where a value ``k`` implies that at iteration step ``t`` scan
will pass to ``fn`` the slice ``t+k``.
``scan`` will follow this logic if partial information is given:
* If an output is not wrapped in a dictionary, ``scan`` will wrap
it in one assuming that you use only the last step of the output
(i.e. it makes your tap value list equal to [-1]).
* If you wrap an output in a dictionary and you do not provide any
taps but you provide an initial state it will assume that you are
using only a tap value of -1.
* If you wrap an output in a dictionary but you do not provide any
initial state, it assumes that you are not using any form of
taps.
* If you provide a ``None`` instead of a variable or a empty
dictionary ``scan`` assumes that you will not use any taps for
this output (like for example in case of a map)
If ``outputs_info`` is an empty list or None, ``scan`` assumes
that no tap is used for any of the outputs. If information is
provided just for a subset of the outputs an exception is
raised (because there is no convention on how scan should map
the provided information to the outputs of ``fn``)
:param non_sequences:
``non_sequences`` is the list of arguments that are passed to
``fn`` at each steps. One can opt to exclude variable
used in ``fn`` from this list as long as they are part of the
computational graph, though for clarity we encourage not to do so.
:param n_steps:
``n_steps`` is the number of steps to iterate given as an int
or Theano scalar. If any of the input sequences do not have
enough elements, scan will raise an error. If the *value is 0* the
outputs will have *0 rows*. If the value is negative, ``scan``
will run backwards in time. If the ``go_backwards`` flag is already
set and also ``n_steps`` is negative, ``scan`` will run forward
in time. If n stpes is not provided, ``scan`` will figure
out the amount of steps it should run given its input sequences.
:param truncate_gradient:
``truncate_gradient`` is the number of steps to use in truncated
BPTT. If you compute gradients through a scan op, they are
computed using backpropagation through time. By providing a
different value then -1, you choose to use truncated BPTT instead
of classical BPTT, where you go for only ``truncate_gradient``
number of steps back in time.
:param go_backwards:
``go_backwards`` is a flag indicating if ``scan`` should go
backwards through the sequences. If you think of each sequence
as indexed by time, making this flag True would mean that
``scan`` goes back in time, namely that for any sequence it
starts from the end and goes towards 0.
:param name:
When profiling ``scan``, it is crucial to provide a name for any
instance of ``scan``. The profiler will produce an overall
profile of your code as well as profiles for the computation of
one step of each instance of ``scan``. The ``name`` of the instance
appears in those profiles and can greatly help to disambiguate
information.
:param mode:
It is recommended to leave this argument to None, especially
when profiling ``scan`` (otherwise the results are not going to
be accurate). If you prefer the computations of one step of
``scan`` to be done differently then the entire function, you
can use this parameter to describe how the computations in this
loop are done (see ``theano.function`` for details about
possible values and their meaning).
:param profile:
Flag or string. If true, or different from the empty string, a
profile object will be created and attached to the inner graph of
scan. In case ``profile`` is True, the profile object will have the
name of the scan instance, otherwise it will have the passed string.
Profile object collect (and print) information only when running the
inner graph with the new cvm linker ( with default modes,
other linkers this argument is useless)
:rtype: tuple
:return: tuple of the form (outputs, updates); ``outputs`` is either a
Theano variable or a list of Theano variables representing the
outputs of ``scan`` (in the same order as in
``outputs_info``). ``updates`` is a subclass of dictionary

update rules for all shared variables used in scan
This dictionary should be passed to ``theano.function`` when
you compile your function. The change compared to a normal
dictionary is that we validate that keys are SharedVariable
and addition of those dictionary are validated to be consistent.

Similar to Theano's official scan, this function gives the user more
control over the scan op, avoiding certain difficulties that arose from
missing optimizations.
:param fn: lambda function that describes one step of scan (see the
official Theano scan function)
:param sequences: similar to the official Theano's scan. This version
of scan does not support taps for the sequences (it can only be a
list of tensor). Scan assumes that sequences have the right length
and it does not check for this.
:param states: similar to outputs_info of the official scan function.
There is one crucial difference though, namely that the `initial`
key in the dictionary has been replace by 'membuf' key. This
reflects the change of meaning. Instead of passing to scan just
the initial steps misisng, one has now to pass a memory buffer in
which scan will try to store its output. In this memory buffer the
first entries should be set to the initial states of the
corresponding states.
Providing a memory buffer that has less entries then the number of
steps, mneans scan will only use that amount of memory. The user has
to match the memory buffer size with the number of steps, otherwise
scan will produce wrong results. Also if gradients are to be
computed through the scan, the memory buffer should have the same
length as the number of steps.
For states that do not require a initial state, one has to provide a
dictionary with a single key 'steps' that says how many intermediate
results to store. See examples below for more insight.
:param n_steps: This parameter is mandatory and it will represent the
number of steps scan will do (scan will not check sequences or any
other source of information to figure out how many steps it needs
to do).
:param mode: Same as for the official scan
:param name: Same as for the official scan
:param profile: Same as for the official scan
Note:
- there is no truncate / go_backwards anymore !
- the outputs returned by scan contain the initial states as well (i.e.
if I loop over k steps, with my smallest tap for an output -3 and keep
al intermediate results, my output will be of length k+3
Examples:
(a) if you do not want to store any intermediate results (just the
