Hi there!

While working on updates to the examples directory, I identified that examples/notebooks/TextCNN.ipynb is currently unusable in modern Python/Torch environments. The notebook explicitly attempts to install torchtext==0.9.1, which creates a fundamental version conflict with the core library requirements.

• Project Python Requirement: >=3.9, <=3.13
• Project Torch Requirement: >=1.10, <3

torchtext 0.9.1 was built for torch 1.8.1. Because the project now requires torch >= 1.10, attempting to force-install the legacy version causes a binary mismatch.

In a Python 3.10 / Torch 2.x environment, importing the library results in the following crash:

OSError: /.../site-packages/torchtext/lib/libtorchtext.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5torch6detail10class_baseC2ERKSsS3_SsRKSt9type_infoS6_

The notebook requires a refactor to remove the torchtext dependency entirely.

I am documenting this issue here as it falls outside the scope of my current PR (which focuses on pbar clean-up), but it remains an inconvenience for users trying to follow this tutorial.

I am happy to work on this refactor in a separate follow-up PR if assigned to this issue.
