An R interface to the C code that implements Porter's word
stemming algorithm for collapsing words to a common root to aid
comparison of texts.  There is code to for different languages
(i.e. danish, dutch, english, finnish, french, german,
norwegian, portuguese, russian, spanish, swedish). However,
these may not be applicable if the words require UTF encoding.
This is extensible by allowing different routines to be
specified to create the C routines used in the stemming,
permitting debugging, profiling, pool management, caching, etc.
The stemming code is taken directly from Dr Martin
Porter's distribution, available at
http://snowball.tartarus.org and is generated via Snowball. The
Snowball code is distributed under the BSD license.
This package is setup to support stemming for languages other
than English and to dynamically fetch code for languages from
the Snowball web site. The inst/scripts/download script fetches
the code for languages supported by Snowball and includes it in
the distribution.  Support for Unicode is needed in R.

STG : Feature Selection using STochastic Gates
person(given = "Yutaro",
family = "Yamada",
role = c("aut", "cre"),
email = "yutaro.yamada@yale.edu")
'STG' is a method for feature selection in neural network. The procedure is based on probabilistic relaxation of the l0 norm of features, or the count of the number of selected features. The framework simultaneously learns either a nonlinear regression or classification function while selecting a small subset of features. Read more: Yamada et al.

Set of tools to read and manipulate various data formats for fisheries. Mainly
catered towards scientific trawl survey sampling ('biotic') data, acoustic
trawl data, and commercial fishing catch ('landings') data. Among the
supported data formats are the data products from the Norwegian Institute
Marine Research ('IMR') and the International Council for the Exploration of
the Sea (ICES).
