Tools to clean and process text.  Tools are geared at checking for substrings that
          are not optimal for analysis and replacing or removing them (normalizing) with more
          analysis friendly substrings (see Sproat, Black, Chen, Kumar, Ostendorf, & Richards
          (2001) <doi:10.1006/csla.2001.0169>) or extracting them into new variables. For
          example, emoticons are often used in text but not always easily handled by analysis
          algorithms.  The replace_emoticon() function replaces emoticons with word
          equivalents.

Provides a framework to download, parse, and store text
    datasets on the disk and load them when needed. Includes various
    sentiment lexicons and labeled text data sets for classification and
    analysis.

Implement text and sentiment analysis with 'texter'. 
             Generate sentiment scores on text data and also visualize sentiments.
             'texter' allows you to quickly generate insights on your data.
             It includes support for lexicons such as 'NRC' and 'Bing'.

Multinomial (inverse) regression inference for text documents and associated attributes.  For details see: Taddy (2013 JASA) Multinomial Inverse Regression for Text Analysis <arXiv:1012.2098> and Taddy (2015, AoAS), Distributed Multinomial Regression, <arXiv:1311.6139>. A minimalist partial least squares routine is also included.  Note that the topic modeling capability of earlier 'textir' is now a separate package, 'maptpx'.

An aid for text mining in R, with a syntax that
    should be familiar to experienced R users. Provides a wrapper for several 
    topic models that take similarly-formatted input and give similarly-formatted
    output. Has additional functionality for analyzing and diagnostics for
    topic models.

Graphic interface for text analysis, implement a few methods such as biplots, correspondence analysis, co-occurrence, clustering, topic models, correlations and sentiments.

Statistical exploration of textual corpora using several methods
    from French 'Textometrie' (new name of 'Lexicometrie') and French 'Data Analysis' schools.
    It includes methods for exploring irregularity of distribution of lexicon features across
    text sets or parts of texts (Specificity analysis); multi-dimensional exploration (Factorial analysis), etc. 
    Those methods are used in the TXM software.
