"""
Tools to identify collocations --- words that often appear consecutively
--- within corpora. They may also be used to find other associations between
word occurrences.
See Manning and Schutze ch. 5 at http://nlp.stanford.edu/fsnlp/promo/colloc.pdf
and the Text::NSP Perl package at http://ngram.sourceforge.net

Finding collocations requires first calculating the frequencies of words and
their appearance in the context of other words. Often the collection of words
will then requiring filtering to only retain useful content terms. Each ngram
of words may then be scored according to some association measure, in order
to determine the relative likelihood of each ngram being a collocation.

The ``BigramCollocationFinder`` and ``TrigramCollocationFinder`` classes provide
these functionalities, dependent on being provided a function which scores a
ngram given appropriate frequency counts. A number of standard association
measures are provided in bigram_measures and trigram_measures.

# Possible TODOs:
# - consider the distinction between f(x,_) and f(x) and whether our
#   approximation is good enough for fragmented data, and mention it
# - add a n-gram collocation finder with measures which only utilise n-gram
#   and unigram counts (raw_freq, pmi, student_t)
