class GradientLearner(Learner):
    """
    Base class for gradient-based optimization of a training criterion
    that can consist in two parts, an additive part over examples, and
    an example-independent part (usually called the regularizer).
    The user provides a Theano formula that maps the fields of a minibatch (each being a tensor with the
    same number of rows = minibatch size) and parameters to output fields (for the use function), one of which
    must be a cost that is the training criterion to be minimized. Subclasses implement
    a training strategy that uses the Theano formula to compute gradients and
    to compute outputs in the update method.
    The inputs, parameters, and outputs are lists of Theano tensors,
    while the example_wise_cost and regularization_term are Theano tensors.
    The user can specify a regularization coefficient that multiplies the regularization term.
    The training algorithm looks for parameters that minimize
       regularization_coefficient * regularization_term(parameters) +
       sum_{inputs in training_set} example_wise_cost(inputs,parameters)
    i.e. the regularization_term should not depend on the inputs, only on the parameters.
    The learned function can map a subset of inputs to a subset of outputs (as long as the inputs subset
    includes all the inputs required in the Theano expression for the selected outputs).
    It is assumed that all the inputs are provided in the training set (as dataset fields
    with the corresponding name), but not necessarily when using the learned function.
