1. Labeled Data File Format

The format of training and testing data file is:

<label> <index1>:<value1> <index2>:<value2> ...
.
.
.

<label> is the target value of the training data. For classification, it should be an integer which identifies a class (multi-class classification is supported). For regression, it's any real number. For one-class SVM, it's not used so can be any number. <index> is an integer starting from 1, <value> is a real number. The indices must be in an ascending order. The labels in the testing data file are only used to calculate accuracy or error. If they are unknown, just fill this column with a number.
