How to resolve "cannot import name '_MissingValues' from 'sklearn.utils._param_validation'" issue when trying to import imblearn?

I am trying to import imblearn into my python notebook after installing the required modules. However, I am getting the following error:

The error

Additional info: I am using a virtual environment in Visual Studio Code.

I've made sure that venv was selected as interpreter and as the notebook kernel. I've reloaded the window and restarted the kernel several times. I have also uninstalled and installed imbalanced-learn and scikit-learn several times, with and without "--upgrade". I'm still getting the same error.

Edit: Full traceback of error

The versions of the modules are as follows:

scikit-learn 1.3.0

imblearn 0.0

imbalanced-learn 0.10.1

Solution

  • I was having the same issue, downgrading to scikit-learn 1.2.2 fixed it for me
