SHORT DESCRIPTION
tm package provides a framework for text mining applications within R. The tm package offers functionality for managing text documents, abstracts the process of document manipulation and eases the usage of heterogeneous text formats in R. The package provides native support for reading in several classic file formats such as plain text, PDFs, or XML files. There is also a plug-in mechanism to handle additional file formats. The data structures and algorithms can be extended to fit custom demands.

- Abstract: During the last decade text mining has become a widely used discipline utilizing statistical and machine learning methods. We present the tm package which provides a framework for text mining applications within R. We give a survey on text mining facilities in R and explain how typical application tasks can be carried out using our framework. We present techniques for count-based analysis methods, text clustering, text classification and string kernels.
