Description
Our implementation of DeepIV relies on very outdated versions of the keras and tensorflow APIs that are not supported by versions 3.9 or later of python.
Given that Python 3.8 will not be supported beyond October 14, 2024, this means that we will deprecate and remove this estimator unless an implementation supporting either a newer version of TensorFlow/keras or a version supporting pytorch is created.

Research direction
Start with econml/iv/nnet/_deepiv.py and review its outdated Keras and TensorFlow API usage against the supported Python versions. Decide whether the migration should target a newer TensorFlow/Keras API or PyTorch, then verify that DeepIV remains available and functional on supported Python versions; otherwise it will be deprecated and removed.
