The function _log_beta_1 cannot handle the argument is_sparse=True due to incorrect data type of instantiating result = torch.zeros_like(value). I propose to add that the dtype should be the same as alpha; thus, result = torch.zeros_like(value, dtype=alpha.dtype).
The problem arises when:
result[mask] = (torch.lgamma(1 + value) + torch.lgamma(alpha) - torch.lgamma(value + alpha)), as result[mask].dtype >> torch.int64 and (torch.lgamma(1 + value) + torch.lgamma(alpha) - torch.lgamma(value + alpha)).dtype >> torch.float32
