Model builder crashing because of ParseDouble & other exceptions

[ClaraGard]

System Information (please complete the following information):

• Model Builder or CLI Version: The one that comes with ML.net 2.0.1 or AutoML 0.20.1
• Visual Studio Version (if applicable): Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.3.2

Describe the bug I am trying to make a regression model for the linked data file and predict the column serviceDuration, when I am running the train option of the model builder I am getting various exceptions that prevent the builder to work. Sometimes a parsing in double exception even if all my data comes from floats that I put in a csv using C# and even when I am putting the features or labels to be strings. Sometimes a KeynotfoundException that I do not understand. And when I am trying to make it work with an other data file, then I get an error at the end telling me to update the ModelBuilder even if I have the latest version

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a regression model builder
2. input a data file of mine (data.csv is the only one working fine for reference), they are all created using the same code
3. train using serviceDuration as a label (serviceId and operatorId are categorical)
4. 2 to 3 models are trained and then the model builder crashes with one of the errors I mentioned

Expected behavior The model builder to train 100 seconds like I said and no exceptions

Additional context the 3 exceptions I am getting are: the zip contains the data, the code I used to creathe the csv, and the model builder I am using FirstMLProject.zip

I can add the full log file if needed usefulData-V5Y7ZN.txt

@ClaraGard from the log it seems that you are using a quite old model builder. Maybe try upgrade your model builder to v17.16.* and give it another chance to try?

[LittleLittleCloud]

@ClaraGard I can't reproduce this issue on latest model builder, so maybe you just need an upgrade
