{{Short description|Model for representing text documents}}

'''Vector space model''' or '''term vector model''' is an algebraic model for representing text documents (or more generally, items) as [[vector space|vectors]] such that the distance between vectors represents the relevance between the documents. It is used in [[information filtering]], [[information retrieval]], [[index (search engine)|index]]ing and relevancy rankings. Its first use was in the [[SMART Information Retrieval System]].<ref>{{citationcite needed|date=December 2023}}.journal
