I'm writing a document for a nontechnical audience in which I need to describe relevance feedback. (For the non-IR folks out there, this is active learning applied in a ranked retrieval search engine context.) I'd like to include a good diagram, but am struggling a bit with how to portray the sequence of classifiers produced, the change in set of labeled training examples over time, etc. Has anyone seen articles with particularly nice diagrams of relevance feedback, or more generally, active learning? Information retrieval textbooks have rather abstract diagrams like this, this, or this, but I'd like to do something that represents the set of objects and the changes in their labeling more explicitly. |

I think that this presentation does a decent job. First, it shows the process abstractly, yet simply as a sequential process, and then it gives a specific example. It would not be difficult to substitute in portions of the abstract diagram, and tune the example to a more illustrative query. Was something like this what you had in mind? EDIT: Given the clarification posted below, this is easy enough to do in PowerPoint (banal, though it may be). In a document, you might have to settle for a sequential strip (in comic-like form; frame 1, frame 2, etc.) or a UML-style sequence diagram that labels the swim lanes with something like 'User at time t'. I guess I'm envisioning some way to show the changes in the labeling of the set of examples over time. That's the part that I'm stuck on how to portray.

I am not sure I have concretes suggestion about the particular elements of the illustration, but I feel that the second drawing could be adapted. In particular, it should rely upon less technical jargon. But the inclusion of figures works well.
