Reassignment of weights in tensorflow 2/keras

I'm currently testing some modified versions of dropout in Keras and one of them involves adjusting the weights during the training of a customized dense layer. I however have not been able to run it without error yet. I suspect is has something to do with eager execution but I'm not sure.

class Linear(keras.layers.Layer):
def __init__(self, units, **kwargs):
    super(Linear, self).__init__(**kwargs)
    self.units = units

def build(self, input_shape):
    self.w = self.add_weight(
        shape=(input_shape[-1], self.units),
        initializer="random_normal",
        trainable=True,
    )
    self.b = self.add_weight(
        shape=(self.units,), initializer="random_normal", trainable=True
    )

def call(self, inputs, training=False):
    prob = 0.0/10
    if training:
        w = np.matrix(self.w)
        # w = self.w
        shape = w.shape
        size = shape[0] * shape[1]

        arr = np.random.choice([0,1], size=size, p=[prob, 1 - prob]) #random array of 1's and 0's
        arr = arr.reshape(shape) #reshape it to same dimensions as weights
        new_weights = np.multiply(arr, w) #element wise multiplication
        self.w = new_weights
    return tf.matmul(inputs, self.w) + self.b

model = models.Sequential()

model.add(layers.Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', padding='same'))
model.add(layers.MaxPooling2D())

model.add(layers.Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu', padding='same'))
model.add(layers.MaxPooling2D())

model.add(layers.Conv2D(128, (3, 3), activation='relu',padding='same'))
model.add(layers.MaxPooling2D())

model.add(layers.Conv2D(4, (3, 3), activation='relu',padding='same'))
model.add(layers.MaxPooling2D())

model.add(layers.Flatten())
model.add(Linear(3)) #Custom layer
model.add(layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax'))

model.compile(loss = 'CategoricalCrossentropy',
              optimizer = 'adam',
              metrics=['accuracy'])

epochs = 1
history = model.fit(train_dataset, validation_data=validation_dataset, epochs=epochs)

Error: TypeError: Expected binary or unicode string, got <tf.Tensor 'sequential_3/linear_3/mul:0' shape=(4, 3) dtype=float32>

The following is the full error I get when running this on google colab

self.w has to be tensorflow.Variable. However after multiplication in call() it becomes tensorflow.Tensor. Just find another way to do the same thing in call() Try this code:

    def call(self, inputs, training=False):
        prob = 0.0/10
        if training:
            w = np.matrix(self.w)
            shape = w.shape
            size = shape[0] * shape[1]

            arr = np.random.choice([0,1], size=size, p=[prob, 1 - prob]) #random array of 1's and 0's
            arr = arr.reshape(shape) #reshape it to same dimensions as weights
# CHANGED 3 LINES BELOW:
            arr = tf.convert_to_tensor(arr, dtype=tf.float32)
            new_weights = tf.multiply(arr, self.w)
            self.w.assign(new_weights)  # Assign preserves tf.Variable

        return tf.matmul(inputs, self.w) + self.b
