The tutorial now runs successfully after applying a workaround. It originally failed with a ModuleNotFoundError because the sklearn.cross_validation submodule (containing train_test_split) was removed in newer scikit-learn releases, and the matplotlib style used for seaborn posters was also dropped. The fix wraps the import in a try/except to import train_test_split from sklearn.model_selection and sets the seaborn poster context directly via seaborn, eliminating the dependency on the removed APIs.

Import libraries and set style

s2 · run_code workaround

Handle both old and new scikit-learn locations for train_test_split, use seaborn's set_context for the poster style, and remove the Jupyter magic command.
