Hey @chunjie97, unfortunately, the nlu-hyperopt is a bit outdated. You’ll have to make a few small changes to make it work with your version of Rasa, but don’t worry, it’s nothing scary. As for the particular error you’re getting, I think you need to change the import statement in optimization.py to this: from rasa.utils.io import read_yaml. Let me know how it goes.
