Problem import modules in ML couse - Lesson 8

Hello, everyone,

I’m taking Jeremy’s ML course, in lesson 8, which talks about neural networks, I get an error when importing from fastai.io import * or when importing from fastai.torch_imports import *
The error generated is:

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

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

reading previous questions, try installing pillow with conda, and installing intel-openmp but it didn’t work.

I have windows 10, I installed the environment following jeremy’s steps. I don’t have a GPU, I only have a CPU (I don’t know if this could be the cause)

Hi @fumpen

I’m also facing the same issue but didn’t try any of the below

Is your issue resolved?

I’m facing exactly same issue on lesson1-vgg.ipynb (windows10, conda env update -f environment-cpu.yml)

Solved with

conda uninstall pytorch
conda install -c peterjc123 pytorch-cpu

I faced this problem because I initially installed pytorch, which seems to have problems with cpu only machines.

That works fine. Thank you so much. This problem had caused me to stop my advance.

Thanks alot for that…May I know how did you come across this?
