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.

Input: Consider Input: Our semi-supervised approach is quite straightforward: first a model is trained on the training set and then this model is used to predict the labels of the silver data. This silver data is then simply added to our training set, after which the model is retrained. However, an extra step is applied to ensure that the silver data is of reasonable quality. 
 Question: What semi-supervised learning is applied?

Output: first a model is trained on the training set and then this model is used to predict the labels of the silver data This silver data is then simply added to our training set, after which the model is retrained


Input: Consider Input: These sentiment scores were automatically obtained through the topic extraction and sentiment analysis pipeline introduced in our prior work BIBREF15 and pretrained on in-house psychiatric EHR text. 
 Question: How do they extract topics?

Output:  automatically obtained through the topic extraction and sentiment analysis pipeline introduced in our prior work BIBREF15


Input: Consider Input: We find that BIBREF27 zhao2018unsupervised make use of a set of discrete variables that define high-level attributes of a response. Although they interpret meanings of the learned discrete latent variables by clustering data according to certain classes (e.g. dialog acts), such latent variables still have no exact meanings. In our model, we connect each latent variable with a word in the vocabulary, thus each latent variable has an exact semantic meaning. Besides, they focus on multi-turn dialogue generation and presented an unsupervised discrete sentence representation learning method learned from the context while our concentration is primarily on single-turn dialogue generation with no context information. 
 Question: How does discrete latent variable has an explicit semantic meaning to improve the CVAE on short-text conversation?


Output: we connect each latent variable with a word in the vocabulary, thus each latent variable has an exact semantic meaning.
