Vector space model

A vector space model is a way to describe relationships between things that can be represented as points in space. In a vector space model, each point is assigned a number called a 'vector' to describe how it relates to other points. For example, if we were looking at two different types of fruits, like apples and oranges, we could use a vector space model to represent the difference between them. We could assign each fruit a vector that describes how sweet it is, how sour it is, how big it is, and how much it costs. Then, when we compare an apple and an orange, their vector would tell us how different they are from one another in these four categories. We could also use vector space models to describe relationships between words, phrases, or other types of data.
