keras.utils.timeseries_dataset_from_array bugs 1

[zhangpanzhan]

Found another bug for this api.

If I import timeseries_dataset_from_array like "from keras.utils import timeseries_dataset_from_array", some errors occur with logs below.
However, if I import it like "from tensorflow.keras.utils import timeseries_dataset_from_array", it works pefect.
My tensorflow version and keras version are 2.16.1 and 3.9.2. Hopefully it can be worked out.

Forget to copy the code. It is simple and just test this api.

import numpy as np
import keras
from keras.utils import timeseries_dataset_from_array
import tensorflow as tf

print(tf.__version__)
print(keras.__version__)

x = np.arange(9)
y = np.arange(9) + 1

dataset = timeseries_dataset_from_array(
    data=x,
    targets=y,
    sequence_length=3,
    batch_size=2,
)

for batch in dataset:
    print(batch)

Hi @zhangpanzhan, thanks for reporting this.

I've tested the code with the Keras 3.9.2 and TensorFlow 2.16.1 and it is working fine in this colab gist, if you are still facing issues, please try upgrading to the latest tensorflow and keras versions in a new environment.
