What seems to be the problem in this case?

I am trying Lightgbm with a dataset. It is giving the following error.




Sample data are gender, degree concentration etc. Mostly ready-made options coming from a survey where the participant just selects the most appropriate option.

    I think the problem is that there are data instances that only occur once, and during the sampling, this occurrence is not chosen by the training data; hence during the validation; they are marked as unrecognized. When I removed the split, it worked. However, I need to train and test the model. I utilized cross-validation but it has the same problem. What is the solution for this?
