How do I tune include and exclude keywords?

Use include keywords to boost relevant matches and exclude keywords to reduce noise in your project.

Use include keywords for terms that should push papers up in relevance.

Use exclude keywords for terms that should filter papers out.

Best practice:

1. Start with 3-10 specific include terms.
2. Add exclude terms only for recurring noise.
3. Review results for a few cycles.
4. Adjust gradually, not all at once.

If your feed is too empty, remove overly broad exclude terms first.
