Hi everyone, I am trying to run a notebook similar to this one [rasa-workshop-pydata-nyc/rasa-pydatanyc-workshop-executed.ipynb at master · RasaHQ/rasa-workshop-pydata-nyc · GitHub](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-workshop-pydata-nyc/blob/master/rasa-pydatanyc-workshop-executed.ipynb) in the newest rasa version: rasa\_nlu: 0.15.0 rasa\_core: 0.14.1

Unfortunately while executing the following line I get a ImportError:

`from rasa_nlu.evaluate import run_evaluation`

`ImportError: cannot import name 'run_evaluation'`

Can anyone help me with this error. What function am I supposed to use in the current version?

Thanks, Sören

Hi @soerenetler, the `evaluate` function is now called `test`. Try this:

```auto
 from rasa_nlu.test import run_evaluation

```

Hi , I am using Rasa\_nlu 0.15.1 in python 3.6 . But I m unable to display confusion matrix with below code in jupyter

from rasa\_nlu.test import run\_evaluation

run\_evaluation(“Multiple\_actions\_rasa\data.json”, model\_directory)
