It both validates and generates multiword candidates. The multiword expression provides a list of candidates which are extracted and filtered according to the number of criteria and a set of standard statistical association measures. The generation of the multiword candidates is based on the surface forms, while the validation consists of series of criteria for removing noise using language independent association measures. For generating corpus count, it provides both a corpus indexation facility.
