Vector Space Model

The Vector Space Model is a way to represent information, like texts or documents, using mathematical structures called vectors. In this model, each piece of information is turned into a list of numbers, where each number represents the importance of a specific word or concept. This allows us to compare different texts easily, finding similarities and differences based on their content. Think of it like plotting points in a multi-dimensional space; the closer two points are, the more related their meanings. It's commonly used in search engines and information retrieval to improve the accuracy of search results.
