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

Question

I am using Jupyter to execute the below code but getting the error

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier 

music_data = pd.read_csv('music.csv')
X = music_data.drop(columns=['genre'])
y = music_data['genre']

model = DecisionTreeClassifier()
model.fit(X,y)
music_data

Error Occured:

I am using Python 3.8.0 and anaconda3, kindly somebody please tell me what is going wrong here

Answer 1

From the error log, it seems the issue is from this line:

from scipy.sparse.linalg import lsqr as sparse_lsqr

Try uninstalling and reinstalling scipy and numpy

Uninstall:

pip uninstall numpy scipy

Install:

pip install -U numpy scipy
