ImportError: cannot import name 'LatentDirichletAllocation'

Question

I'm trying to import the following:

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

and got following error, here's the stack trace :

ImportError: cannot import name 'LatentDirichletAllocation'

Actually I was trying to import :

from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split

Which gave me following error:

ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-2-9ebede864c4d> in <module>
      1 import numpy as np
      2 import pandas as pd
----> 3 from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split
      4 from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
      5 from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.cross_validation'

So, as answered in this post, I used sklearn.model_selection instead of sklearn.cross_validation. But it's still giving an error.

I'm using python 3.6.8.

Answer 1

This is broken in 0.22 version

Use stable versions:

For Python 2

pip uninstall scikit-learn
pip install -U scikit-learn==0.20.4

For Python 3

pip3 uninstall scikit-learn
pip3 install -U scikit-learn==0.21.3
