Various embodiments may be generally directed to the use of an adversarial learning framework for persona-based dialogue modeling. In some embodiments, automated multi-turn dialogue response generation may be performed using a persona-based hierarchical recurrent encoder-decoder-based generative adversarial network (phredGAN). Such a phredGAN may feature a persona-based hierarchical recurrent encoder-decoder (PHRED) generator and a conditional discriminator. In some embodiments, the conditional discriminator may include an adversarial discriminator that is provided with attribute representations as inputs. In some other embodiments, the conditional discriminator may include an attribute discriminator, and attribute representations may be handled as targets of the attribute discriminator. The embodiments are not limited in this context.
