Information: Keras 2.2.0 doesn't work with examples due to a known issue

[nicolefinnie]

I rand the random_example.py with the latest Keras 2.2.0 and hit the following error while_loop() got an unexpected keyword argument maximum_iterations. Someone from the tensorflow repository suggested using Keras 2.1.5, so I downgraded my Keras to 2.1.5 and it bypassed this error.
