✨ NAME ✨

svm-checkdata — a LIBSVM format checking tool 🧚

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

svm-checkdata dataset

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: svm-train(1) only does a simple check of your input data. like, it peeks. it does not deep-dive. 🙈

if you want a detailed check — the full investigation, the magnifying glass, the whole detective era — that's what this python script is for. we provide it. you're welcome. 💅

🎀 FILES 🎀

for the format of dataset, go look at svm-train(1). it's all there, bestie. iykyk. ✨

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

first, not me looking at your bad data:

> cat bad_data
1 3:1 2:4

and then you run it through the checker:

> svm-checkdata bad_data
line 1: feature indices must be in an ascending order, previous/current
features 3:1 2:4 Found 1 lines with error.

see how it clocked the feature indices not being in ascending order?? previous/current features 3:1 2:4 — it literally said that. and then, the receipts: Found 1 lines with error. periodt. 👑
