Hello,

I just start exploring this `ResponseSelector` class so I’m quite curious about this as well. However, as of last December, random answer for response selector was not possible as [stated here](http://forum.rasa.com/t/when-using-responseselector-response-text-is-not-being-chosen-randomly/21891/3). The interesting part is, [rasa-demo’s `responses.md` implies](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-demo/blob/master/data/nlu/responses.md) that it is possible, or it will be possible in the future, to choose random responses from possible responses.

As my knowledge on response retrieval model, randomize responses for `ResponseSelector` is very tricky to do out-of-the-box without any post-processing function since retrieval model is basically measuring similarity ranking between encoded input and output.

I’m sorry to mention, but any comment on this @erohmensing?
