I am using rasa 1.1.6 . When i am running my nlu_model.py file to train my nlu i am getting ValueError: Unknown data format for file “data\data.json” I have updated my data.json file in below format { "rasa_nlu_data": { "common_examples": [], "regex_features" : [], "lookup_tables" : [], "entity_synonyms": [] } } But i am still getting the error. Below is my code from rasa.nlu.training_data import load_data from rasa.nlu import config from rasa.nlu.model import Trainer from rasa.nlu.model import Metadata, Interpreter def train_nlu(data, configs, model_dir): training_data = load_data(data) trainer = Trainer(config.load(configs)) trainer.train(training_data) model_directory = trainer.persist(model_dir, fixed_model_name='weathernlu') if __name__=='__main__': train_nlu("C:\\Samples\\xxx\\data\\data.json","C:\\Samples\\xxx\\config_spacy.json","C:\\Samples\\xxx\\models\\nlu") Below is my data.json file { “rasa_nlu_data”: { “common_examples”: [ { “intent”: “sendPin”, “entities”: [ { “start”: 5, “end”: 16, “value”: “fgrekjbgjgr”, “entity”: “pinname” }, { “start”: 30, “end”: 34, “value”: “mani”, “entity”: “person” } ], “text”: “send fgrekjbgjgr pin board to mani” }, { “intent”: “sendPin”, “entities”: [ { “start”: 8, “end”: 18, “value”: “svfkjgvnrb”, “entity”: “pinname” }, { “start”: 31, “end”: 35, “value”: “gopi”, “entity”: “person” } ], “text”: “forward svfkjgvnrb pinboard to gopi” }, { “intent”: “sendPin”, “entities”: [ { “start”: 6, “end”: 16, “value”: “refkregrek”, “entity”: “pinname” }, { “start”: 24, “end”: 30, “value”: “mahesh”, “entity”: “person” } ], “text”: “share refkregrek pin to mahesh” }, { “intent”: “sendPin”, “entities”: [ { “start”: 9, “end”: 14, “value”: “rewfr”, “entity”: “pinname” }, { “start”: 28, “end”: 34, “value”: “ganesh”, “entity”: “person” } ], “text”: “send the rewfr pin board to ganesh” } ], “regex_features”: , “lookup_tables”: , “entity_synonyms”: } }

[Selection_005] it seems like it’s the problem of “” and “” you may always check your json file with a json validator … or you can simply run the md file… result.json (1.7 KB) if this does not work still… I am not sure …

Seems like you guys have the exact problem, you may find the answer here. You json format is wrong. [image] Getting error while training json data Rasa Open Source Hi Prasanth, Your json file format is wrong, your {} arrangement has a missing pair or extra pair here and there. I’d recommend you using the md format of writing your nlu.md/data.json files. if you need to convert md file to json, you can use the following method in terminal usage: rasa data convert nlu [-h] [-v] [-vv] [–quiet] --data DATA --out OUT [-l LANGUAGE] -f {json,md} I formated your contents in this md file help.md (248 Bytes) for Json format: { “rasa_nlu_data”: { “common_exam…

I tried this approach also but still i am getting same error. Even while executing convert nlu script i am getting the same error. I tried downgrading my rasa to 1.0.6 but still it is showing same error.

So when i checked i found out that my data.json file was in utf-8 fromat which is causing problem so i changed the encoding to ANSI in notepad which worked out. Thanks a lot for your help as i was stuck in this issue for so long.
