Description

There are the classes tfp.layers.DenseVariational and tfp.layers.DenseLocalReparameterization, apart from tfp.layers.DenseReparameterization and tfp.layers.DenseFlipout, to represent a Bayesian dense layer. However, there are no Convolution1DVariational, Convolution2DVariational, Convolution3DVariational, Convolution1DLocalReparameterization, Convolution2DLocalReparameterization and Convolution3DLocalReparameterization classes. Why is that?

This question had already been partially asked in this comment: https://github.com/tensorflow/probability/issues/511#issuecomment-516564049.

See https://github.com/tensorflow/probability/issues/409#issuecomment-492870964, which partially answers this question (i.e. TFP and TF are extremely buggy).

Research direction

Start by comparing the documented tfp.layers.DenseVariational and DenseLocalReparameterization classes with the existing convolutional layer classes named in the issue. Determine whether the missing Convolution1D/2D/3D variants are intended as new features, then define the required behavior and validation before implementation.
