Description

Description

A dataset with the following sparse_arff representation fails to be published:

'% Synthetic dataset created from a Pandas DataFrame with Sparse columns\n@RELATION Temp\n\n@ATTRIBUTE input1 REAL\n@ATTRIBUTE input2 REAL\n@ATTRIBUTE y REAL\n\n@DATA\n{ }\n{ 1 1.0,2 1.0 }\n{ 0 0.0,2 1.0 }\n{ 0 1.0,1 1.0 }\n'

equivalently,

% Synthetic dataset created from a Pandas DataFrame with Sparse columns
@RELATION Temp

@ATTRIBUTE input1 REAL
@ATTRIBUTE input2 REAL
@ATTRIBUTE y REAL

@DATA
{  }
{ 1 1.0,2 1.0 }
{ 0 0.0,2 1.0 }
{ 0 1.0,1 1.0 }
Expected Results

The dataset be published.

Actual Results

The following error:
OpenMLServerException: Error parsing dataset ARFF file - Arff error in dataset file: trailing characters on data line (l.9)

Research direction

Reproduce dataset publishing with the sparse ARFF example, especially the empty data row, and trace the ARFF parsing path that reports trailing characters. Done means the supplied dataset publishes successfully without the reported parsing error.
