Dear theano community, starting to use scan more and more, I wondered why there is the ``non-sequences`` parameter needed for scan to work? I mean instead of letting the accumlating function depend on these by function parameters, I just could refer to them by reference as they are unique.
For shared variables the library even implements the ``strict`` flag which seems to ensure that everything is in fact passed via ``non-sequences`` (see e.g. http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/library/scan.html#using-shared-variables-the-strict-flag). Can someone explain why? thanks in advance -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "theano-users" group.
