I would like to create a theano.tensor.ivector variable and specify its values. In most code examples on the internet, I find v = T.ivector(). This creates the tensor variable but don't specify its value.
I tried this :
import theano.tensor as T
val = [1,5]
v = T.ivector(value=val, name='v')
but I get the following error :
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: __call__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'value'
I think you may be a little confused about the use of tensors, as it isn't a traditional variable that you assign a value to on declaration. A tensor is really a placeholder variable with a specified format that you will use in a function later. Extending on your example:
import theano.tensor as T
from theano import function
val = [1, 5]
v = T.ivector('v')
f = function([v], [v]) # Create a function that just returns the input
# Evaluate the function
f(val)
In the above code we just create a function that takes the tensor v and returns it. The value is not assigned until we call the function f(val)
