Description

The TensorFlow Distributions document page states that both cross-entropy and Kl divergence functions exit for Binomial distribution. However, when I try to call them I get a NotImplemented error.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported NotImplemented error for cross-entropy and KL divergence between two Binomial distributions, using the TensorFlow Distributions documentation page as the reference. Determine whether the implementation or the documentation is incorrect, then verify that the documented behavior and the callable functions agree.
