Section 2.2 A taxonomy of Information Retrieval Models
Predicting which documents are relevant is usaually dependent on a ranking algorithm.
- The three classic models in information retreival are:
Boolean Model: In the boolean model documents and queries are represented as sets of index terms, thus we say this model is a set theoretic model
Vector Model: In the vector model documents and queries are represented as vectors in a t-dimensional space, thus we say that the model is algebraic.
Probabilistic Model: The framework for modeling document and query representations is based on probability theory, and thus we sat that the model is prababilistic.
