Theano数据类型--TypeError

A Type in Theano represents a set of constraints on potential data objects. These constraints allow Theano to tailor C code to handle them and to statically optimize the computation graph.

        Theano对数据的类型要求很严格，因为Theano需要把函数等内容编译成C语言（所以控制台console在执行到theano.function(…)语句时会有明显的延迟）。如果程序运行过程中输入数据比函数中对应变量的精度要高，程序就会报错，要求你向下cast或对输入数据进行转换、

例：

import theano
import theano.tensor as T
from theano import function
import numpy

a = T.fvector('a') # declare variable
b = T.fvector('b')
out = a**2 + b**2 + 2*a*b
f = function([a,b],out) # compile function

print f(numpy.asarray([2.3, 5,7], dtype = numpy.float32),numpy.asarray([4.4, 5,6],dtype = numpy.float32)) # 1st time call function
print f([2.3, 5,7],[4.4, 5,6])  # 2nd time call function

运行结果

[  44.88999939  100.          169.        ]
TypeError: ('Bad input argument to theano function with name "E:/.../.py:26"  at index 0(0-based)',
 'TensorType(float32, vector) cannot store accurately value [2.3, 5, 7],
If you do not mind this precision loss, you can: 
1) explicitly convert your data to a numpy array of dtype float32,
 or 2) set "allow_input_downcast=True" when calling "function".', [2.3, 5, 7])

[2.3, 5,7]默认是float64格式，fvector中的元素是float32格式。第一次调用函数时用numpy显式把数组转为float32格式，所以运行正常。第二次调用函数时报错TypeError，提示无法用float32准确表示数值2.3。

theano.tensor模块中的数据格式都可以在官网找到：
