An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
{
"author": "f27b54a137b4",

"label": "FAVOR",
"language": "de",
"numerical_label": 100,
"question": "Sind Sie für eine vollständige Liberalisierung der Geschäftsöffnungszeiten (Geschäfte können die Öffnungszeiten nach freiem Ermessen festlegen)?",
"question_id": 739,
"topic": "Economy"
}
```
