Vector space model

The Vector Space Model (VSM) is an algebraic model used for information filtering and information retrieval. It represents natural language documents in a formal manner by the use of vectors in a multi-dimensional space. It has been used first time by the SMART Information Retrieval System. A short description of this model can be found at [1].

Models basing on and extending the Vector Space Model:

  * Generalized Vector Space Model
  * Topic-based Vector Space Model
