Abstract
Technologies pertaining to computing a metric that is indicative of whether an n-gram in a large corpus of text is a collocation are described herein. The metric is computed in connection with a distributed computing framework, wherein n-grams of varying lengths can be analyzed in a single input data pass, and wherein secondary sorting functionality of the distributed computing framework need not be invoked.
