I am bit afraid about the way question asked and answer given about open domain chat-bot. An open domain system is expected to understand any topic and return relevant responses. For example, Meena — Google’s open domain bot that can “chat about anything.” Open domain is more like talking to a friend where the conversation can go in any direction — from what series you’re binging to why your client demo stopped working exactly two seconds after sending it. This free-flowing conversation has no defined objective, so your responses need to adapt to whatever information you’re given.
