In other wor[OCRerr]s, q1 +5 the vector sum of q[OCRerr] plus the optimal vector for the subset of the 0 reference collection for which the user has provi[OCRerr]e[OCRerr] relevance information. If equal weight is given to the original query an[OCRerr] the optimal vector base[OCRerr] on the fee&oack information, equation (37) may[OCRerr]be written in the form: n n2 q1 = n1n2q[OCRerr] + n2 L [OCRerr] - n1 T 5[OCRerr] i=1 i=1 (3.[OCRerr]) If q1 is to be restricte[OCRerr] to a vector with only nonnegative components, the following may be used: -I f q1 f,0r.% >0 ½j 0 for q; [OCRerr]o j Fi[OCRerr]ure 3.2 provides a two-dimensional geometrical interpretation of the relevance feedback request modification process. Part (a) shows the[OCRerr]initial query q located between the 0 relevant and non-relevant document vectors. [OCRerr]he vector r-s shown in part (b) istlie optimal vector (i.e. the vector which maximizes the fun9tion C of equation (3.2) ) for differentiating the subset [OCRerr] =£r¼,r2} , from S [OCRerr] . Part (c) shows the resi[OCRerr]iitant of adding q to the normalized vector sum r-s, which results in the new 0
