BUGS

There is a limitation in huge-merge.pl. When the size of the corpus is very large (>16G) and the some of the terms of the bigrams is very long (>30 chars), the program could run out of memory at huge-merge.pl step. This is because huge-merge use two hashes to count the frequencies of the first and second term of the bigrams. These two hashes could use up the memory with the increase of the length of the terms and the increase of the number of the terms. If just for normal text, terms are within limited length and numbers, the software won't use up the memory.
