Simple Information Retrieval System

Project Description

This project is a simple information retrieval system that allows users to search for documents based on keywords. The system uses a vector space model to represent documents as vectors and calculate the cosine similarity between the query vector and document vectors. The system also uses a simple inverted index to speed up the search process and simple linear search model as control.
