Abstract
An information retrieval model, named the Generalized Vector Space Model (GVSM), is extended to
handle situations where queries are specified as (extended) Boolean expressions. It is shown that
this unified model, unlike currently available alternatives, has the advantage of incorporating term
correlations into the retrieval process. The query language extension is attractive in the sense that
most of the algebraic properties of the strict Boolean language are still preserved. Although the
experimental results for extended Boolean retrieval are not always better than the vector processing
method, the developments here are significant in facilitating commercially available retrieval systems
to benefit from the vector based methods. The proposed scheme is compared to the p-norm model
advanced by Salton and coworkers. An important conclusion is that it is desirable to investigate
further extensions that can offer the benefits of both proposals.
