> Many datasets exist in LibSVM format for regression tasks [1] but currently the loadLibSVMFile primitive doesn't handle regression datasets.
> More precisely, the LabelParser is either a MulticlassLabelParser or a BinaryLabelParser. What happens then is that the file is loaded but in multiclass mode : each target value is interpreted as a class name !
> The fix would be to write a RegressionLabelParser which converts target values to Double and plug it into the loadLibSVMFile routine.
