The underlying model is https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.10960 which is open source on Github, with some additional techniques of my own on top of it. I then let it talk with itself for 30 turns for each dialogue. Here are the outputs with some minor post-processing for readability: https://pastebin.com/UsFEFqqh As you can see the results are very diverse and it seems like the model does capture the main topic discussed but fail to compose a natural sentence. It was theorized by [Shen et al](https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.02032) that &amp;quot;BOW…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2 points; 0 discussion replies on HN. &lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1802.02032/"&gt;Paper and source history&lt;/a&gt;.
