Summary:Abstract: "This paper describes the amount of information of a sentence interpretation, which is used as a measure for the disambiguation process in a natural language understanding system. This measure is defined, based on a hearer's model with knowledge base composed of proposition set and inference rule set. Selecting the most informative interpretation by this measure is reasonable in the sence that communication is an act whereby messages are transmitted with the least effort. This formalization is applied to a practical procedure for anaphoric ambiguity resolution, which is constructed as a part of a question-answering system. Furthermore, a conversation experiment was carried out, and it was found that ninety-three percent of referents corresponding to anaphoric indicators could be correctly determined."
