ImportError: cannot import name 'plot_confusion_matrix' from 'sklearn.metrics'

Question

I am attempting to run below code.

from sklearn.metrics import plot_confusion_matrix

And I am receiving below error.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-66-ebfa5cfc2bb8> in <module>
----> 1 from sklearn.metrics import plot_confusion_matrix

ImportError: cannot import name 'plot_confusion_matrix' from 'sklearn.metrics' (C:\Program Files\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sklearn\metrics\__init__.py)

Solution

plot_confusion_matrix is available only after v0.22. If you are not using the latest version please update using one of the following commands.

Anaconda

conda update -c conda-forge scikit-learn

PIP

pip install --upgrade scikit-learn

I'm getting the same error i.e. cannot import name 'plot_confusion_matrix' when running my notebook via Kaggle kernel. Even tried to upgrade sklearn via this command -> !pip install --upgrade scikit-learn. But still I'm getting the above error.
