UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 107: invalid continuation byte

Hello, I was watching this tutorial :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ktcGQ-XreQ
And I did this command for starting the training
python3.9 model_main_tf2.py --pipeline_config_path==ssd_efficientdet_d0_512x512_coco17_tpu-8.config --model_dir==training --alsologtostderr
but it's respond by this error.

PS : Sorry if my question is stupid, But my skills in Python & Fixing Bugs are not really good, I've fixed other bug before but for this one I don't know How can I fixe It.

For more information :
Tensorflow version : 2.10.1
Tensorflow Addon : tensorflow-addons==0.20.0

If there is another information needed. Ask me !

Hi @aminejbz,

Support for the older codebase has been discontinued. Could you kindly utilize the official Object Detection models provided by TensorFlow Model Garden.
Thanks.
