        '''Train a model using a training and validation set.

        This method yields a series of monitor values to the caller. After every
        iteration, a pair of monitor dictionaries is generated: one evaluated on
        the training dataset, and another evaluated on the validation dataset.
        The validation monitors might not be updated during every training
        iteration; in this case, the most recent validation monitors will be
        yielded along with the training monitors.

        Parameters
        ----------
        train : :class:`Dataset <theanets.dataset.Dataset>`
            A set of training data for computing updates to model parameters.
        valid : :class:`Dataset <theanets.dataset.Dataset>`
            A set of validation data for computing monitor values and
            determining when the loss has stopped improving.

        Yields
        ------
        training : dict
            A dictionary mapping monitor names to values, evaluated on the
            training dataset.
        validation : dict
            A dictionary containing monitor values evaluated on the validation
            dataset.
