UnicodeDecodeError because the code and txt files are not utf-8

[YuhsiHu]

Hey! Thank you for your great work!
I found that these files are not utf-8. So there will be
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf1 in position 8: invalid continuation byte
when we train or eval.
Could you please update so that other researchers can follow the README without any error? Thank you for your time!

Even if I changed all files to utf-8, there was still error when I ran train.py and the train.py would be latin1 format again. That is weird ...

You have specified --do_online_eval.
This will evaluate the model every eval_freq 1000 steps and save best models for individual eval metrics.

Sorry for opening this issue because I found that my files on machine are encrypted for data security, which lead to the change of encoding format.
