Summary:Abstract: "This paper considers what makes contents of a conversation in natural languages 'intelligible' to all kinds of users of consultation systems. Users of the consultation systems have an interesting characteristic. The system cannot expect a user to understand all questions that are needed to be answered for solving his problem, even though he knows all the related facts, if those questions are not expressed in a proper way. It is one of the most difficult point [sic] to make an intelligible question to the user. By analyzing actual human consultation conversations, we define the intelligibility and propose a new algorithm for generating intelligible questions by using user models and the problem domain knowledge, followed by an implementation."
