Description

How to repro?

TF version: 2.19.0

  1. Take an example from https://www.tensorflow.org/probability/api_docs/python/tfp/distributions/PixelCNN#examples
  2. Create Google Colab
  3. Past the example into the Google Colab
  4. Run it

The following exception occurs:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

    ValueError: A KerasTensor cannot be used as input to a TensorFlow function. A KerasTensor is a symbolic placeholder for a shape and dtype, used when constructing Keras Functional models or Keras Functions. You can only use it as input to a Keras layer or a Keras operation (from the namespaces `keras.layers` and `keras.ops`). You are likely doing something like:
    
    ```
    x = Input(...)
    ...
    tf_fn(x)  # Invalid.
    ```
    
    What you should do instead is wrap `tf_fn` in a layer:
    
    ```
    class MyLayer(Layer):
        def call(self, x):
            return tf_fn(x)
    
    x = MyLayer()(x)
    ```

Research direction

Start with the PixelCNN example at the TensorFlow Probability API documentation URL and reproduce it in Google Colab with TensorFlow 2.19. Inspect the failure at dist.log_prob(image_input) and trace the reported KerasTensor exception. Done means the documented example runs successfully without this exception.
