In the article we propose an interactive question-based search algorithm that might come up helpful for identifying users’ intents. We describe the algorithm implemented in a form of a questions game. The stress is put mainly on the most critical aspect of this algorithm – the selection of questions. The solution is compared to broadly used decision trees learning algorithms in terms of knowledge inconsistencies tolerance, efficiency and complexity. %G English %Z TC 12 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01524978/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01524978/file/978-3-642-32891-6_24_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01524978 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01524978 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC12 %~ IFIP-IIP %~ IFIP-AICT-385
