Foundational Models
Early $\text{IR}$ systems were dominated by symbolic and exact matching methods. However, contemporary practice is overwhelmingly governed by probabilistic models and vector space models, which allow for partial matches and ranking based on estimated utility.

Vector Space Model (VSM)
The Vector Space Model ($\text{VSM}$) revolutionized $\text{IR}$ by treating documents and queries as vectors in a multi-dimensional feature space. Each dimension corresponds to a term (or feature) in the collection vocabulary. Document representation often employs term weighting schemes, most famously the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency ($\text{TF-IDF}$) scheme, which attempts to quantify the discriminative power of a term.
