Jupyter Notebook: Importing SMOTE from imblearn - ImportError: cannot import name 'pairwise_distances_chunked'

Question

I'm trying to use the SMOTE package in the imblearn library using:

from imblearn.over_sampling import SMOTE

getting the following error message:

ImportError: cannot import name 'pairwise_distances_chunked'.

Really stumped on this, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have encountered a similar problem. I could solve by opening a new IPython console.

It finally worked for me too once I closed and re-opened Jupyter notebook. A bit of an odd dynamic but I guess that's the fix. – Billy Hansen Dec 04 '18 at 15:00

I know it's a bit late, but for anyone using Jupyter notebook, I could solve my problem by just restarting the kernel.

Re-installing the package solved the issue.

conda install -c conda-forge imbalanced-learn

I opened a new console after re-install Scikit-learn (python3 -m pip install -U scikit-learn; in Jupyter notebook), then it works.
