limiting the number of excursion in an iterator #177
Conversation

Can you provide an example of where you might use this? It seems like most schemes provide a way to limit the number of returned batches/examples automatically based on their constructor arguments. |

When evaluating on the validation set I would like to use a random subset 2015-06-22 16:12 GMT-04:00 David Warde-Farley [email protected]:

Okay. The name could probably be better too -- it's unclear in what way it would be "limited". Perhaps "TruncatedEpochScheme"? @rizar might have an opinion. |

I'd be okay with |
| """Iterate over the sequence given an iterationScheme object | ||
| but in a limited number of excursions defined by times | ||
| """ | ||
| def __init__(self, iteration_scheme, times, *args, **kwargs): |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
You can safely remove *args, **kwargs. It's used in other iterators (e.g. ShuffledExampleScheme) to pass arbitrary args and kwargs to the superclass' __init__ method, but in this case you're not calling any other __init__ method.

@mducoffe I'm doing a cleanup of the open PRs. Would you still like to go ahead with this one? |
