UnicodeDecodeError on Windows10

[TimeHunter618]

Thank you sincerely for your work. I got a stuck in running the code, which is as follow :

My env is:
win10, anaconda, pytorch=1.1.0 with cuda auto installed by conda

An UnicodeDecodeError happened when I running:
(ad) λ p python 1_train_predictor.py --data ecg --filename chfdb_chf01_275.pkl

The error is:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc8 in position 93: invalid continuation byte

The detail is:
`> building the model
The using device is : cuda
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "1_train_predictor.py", line 115, in
model = model.to(device(args.device))

out = out.decode().strip()

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc8 in position 93: invalid continuation byte`

The solutions I had try are:

• I tried to use pytorch=0.4.0 and pytorch=1.1.0 seperately in python 3.5 and 3.6 3.7,but it doesn't work

• I tried to run it use cpu. It works. But It takes too long.

• I tried to change the encoding way, encoding='utf-8'. It worked partly

I cann't figure out what's happened in cuda or pytorch with the error. Looking for Ur reply~
