title: Jupyter Notebook: Importing SMOTE from imblearn - ImportError: cannot import name 'pairwise_distances_chunked'
body: <p>I'm trying to use the <code>SMOTE</code> package in the <code>imblearn</code> library using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from imblearn.over_sampling import SMOTE
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>getting the following error message: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ImportError: cannot import name 'pairwise_distances_chunked'.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Here is a screenshot  of my import <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/YB82f.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">screenshot of download confirmation</a></p>
