Abstract

The potential of the Boomerang effect for yielding high precision and expanding the initial set is indicated with data from a Boolean pre-experiment. Thus, a best match Boomerang effect is proposed with focus on weighting references based on their frequency of occurrence. Currently, further work is being done on implementing and testing the best match approach with a high number of cognitive representations generated from a corpus of 12,000 scientific full text articles in XML.
