Scikit learn DLL load failed in anaconda

I am getting an import error while trying to import sklearn package in anaconda jupyter notebook. The import statement is 

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

The stack trace of the error is

    ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

Can anyone help.

This thread is older, but maybe someone runs into the same issue. In my case removing (or renaming them to .bak) all MKL-libraries from Windows/system32 helped:

mkl_core.dll
mkl_def.dll
mkl_intel_thread.dll
libiomp5md.dll
libmmd.dll

Also check Windows/SysWOW64 for these files.

In my case I deleted the first 4 files, like some posts in other forums suggest, but still got the "DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found"-Error. Using dependencywalker I figured out, that the libmmd.dll also had to be removed.

I also faced this error and solved it through a lot of trial and error. It was strange that I could import sklearn.metrics successfully in the python shell, but not in the Jupyter Notebook.

Finally, I was able to resolve the issue by simultaneously reinstalling scipy and related packages with anaconda: conda install numpy numpy-base scipy scikit-learn mkl --force-reinstall

I found this StackOverflow post useful: Python scipy module import error due to missing ._ufuncs dll
