JSONDecodeError: Unexpected UTF-8 BOM (decode using utf-8-sig): line 1 column 1 (char 0) ---While Tuning gpt2.finetune - utf-8

Question

Hope you all are doing good ,
I am working on fine tuning GPT 2 model to generate Title based on the content ,While working on it ,I have created a simple CSV files containing only the title to train the model , But while inputting this model to GPT 2 for fine tuning I am getting the following ERROR ,
JSONDecodeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
10 steps=1000,
11 save_every=200,
---> 12 sample_every=25) # steps is max number of training steps
13
14 # gpt2.generate(sess)

/usr/lib/python3.7/json/__init__.py in loads(s, encoding, cls, object_hook, parse_float, parse_int, parse_constant, object_pairs_hook, **kw)
336 if s.startswith('\ufeff'):
337 s = s.encode('utf8')[3:].decode('utf8')
--> 338 # raise JSONDecodeError("Unexpected UTF-8 BOM (decode using utf-8-sig)",
339 # s, 0)
340 else:
JSONDecodeError: Unexpected UTF-8 BOM (decode using utf-8-sig): line 1 column 1 (char 0)
Below is my code for the above :
import gpt_2_simple as gpt2
model_name = "120M" # "355M" for larger model (it's 1.4 GB)
gpt2.download_gpt2(model_name=model_name) # model is saved into current directory under /models/117M/
sess = gpt2.start_tf_sess()
gpt2.finetune(sess,
'titles.csv',
model_name=model_name,
steps=1000,
save_every=200,
sample_every=25) # steps is max number of training steps
I have tried all the basic mechanism of handing UTF -8 BOM but did not find any luck ,Hence requesting your help .It would be a great help from you all .

Answer 1

Try changing the model name because i see you input 120M and the gpt2 model is called 124M
