[Gate-users] Gate-users Digest, Vol 167, Issue 50

[Bryan McIntosh]

Hello Alex,

GATE is a Monte Carlo simulator for particle transport, which wasn't meant
for any of the sort of analysis that you are looking to perform in your
project. I am not familiar enough with language studies or machine learning
to suggest an appropriate alternative framework, but it looks like GATE and
Geant4 are poor choices for this project.

Good luck in your future endeavours!
