ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '\ufeff219'

[preethamsridhar]

Initially, I had the error of UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xef in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) That was solved when I converted all the downloaded files in data to utf-8.

Now, while at the beginning of the training the error UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xef in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) is being displayed.

Not sure about the reason. Could anybody help?
