In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and a question separated with a 
. You have to answer the question based on the context.

Similarly the agents utterances can be clustered to identify system responses. However, we argue that rather than treating user utterances and agents responses in an isolated manner, there is merit in jointly clustering them. There is adjacency information of these utterances that can be utilized to identify better user intents and system responses. 
 Question: Do they study frequent user responses to help automate modelling of those?
Yes

We have used a dataset of 14 TDs to conduct our experiments. 
 Question: Which dataset(s) do they use?
14 TDs BIBREF15

Baselines. We compare our models against a neural baseline models, hierarchical LSTM (hLSTM), with the attention ablated but with access to the complete context, and a strong, open-sourced feature-rich baseline BIBREF7 . We choose BIBREF7 over other prior works such as BIBREF0 since we do not have access to the dataset or the system used in their papers for replication. BIBREF7 is a logistic regression classifier with features inclusive of bag-of-words representation of the unigrams and thread length, normalised counts of agreements to previous posts, counts of non-lexical reference items such as URLs, and the Coursera forum type in which a thread appeared. We also report aggregated results from a hLSTM model with access only to the last post as context for comparison. Table TABREF17 compares the performance of these baselines against our proposed methods. 
 Question: What was the previous state of the art for this task?

hLSTM
