The bag-of-words model is a model of text which uses a representation of text that is based on an unordered collection (or "bag") of words. It is used in natural language processing and information retrieval (IR). It disregards word order (and thus any non-trivial notion of grammar[clarification needed]) but captures multiplicity. The bag-of-words model has also been used for computer vision.[1]
The bag-of-words model is commonly used in methods of document classification where, for example, the (frequency of) occurrence of each word is used as a feature for training a classifier.[2]
An early reference to "bag of words" in a linguistic context can be found in Zellig Harris's 1954 article on Distributional Structure.[3]
