Abstract

In this paper, an information retrieval methodology and model based on variable precision rough set model (VPRSM) are proposed through combining rough sets and fuzzy sets. In the methodology, the documents are represented as fuzzy index terms, the queries are defined with a rough set and that each document has an approximation in this set. The experimental results compared with vector space model (VSM) are presented.
