Count relationship pairs in Neo4j

I'm starting dealing with Neo4j so I'm not really proficient on this topic. In figure below I have 2-mode (bipartite) graph where green node presents "document" and red node presents "term" which occur in particular document. (Real-world graph is actually huge: about 20.000.000 documents and 25.000 terms).

I wonder how I go about counting co-occurrence pairs of terms in neo4j (in Cypher or Java). The desired output from query should be:

# Example: Pair (term-1, term-2) occurs in doc-1 and in doc-3
# Frequency for pair (term-1, term-2) should be 2
# termA | term B | frequency
term-1 | term-2 | 2
term-1 | term-3 | 1
term-2 | term-3 | 2

Bipartite graph

Graph is available at http://console.neo4j.org/r/7fmo7c

Code to reproduce test graph in Neo4j

set name root
mkrel -t ROOT -c -v
cd 1
set name doc-1
set type document
mkrel -t HAVE -cv
cd 2
set name term-1
set type term
cd ..
mkrel -t HAVE -cv
cd 3
set name term-2
set type term
cd ..
mkrel -t HAVE -cv
cd 4
set name term-3
set type term
mkrel -t HAVE -d INCOMING -c
cd 5
set name doc-2
set type document
mkrel -t HAVE -d OUTGOING -n 3
cd 3
mkrel -t HAVE -d INCOMING -c
cd 6
set name doc-3
set type document
mkrel -t HAVE -d OUTGOING -n 2

start t1=node(*), t2=node(*) 
where has(t1.type) and has(t2.type) and t1.type='term' and t2.type='term' and id(t1) < id(t2)
with t1, t2 
match t1<-[:HAVE]-doc-[:HAVE]->t2 
where doc.type='document' 
return t1, t2, count(doc)

You can try this here : http://console.neo4j.org/r/pshvqx

I hope this is what you want. Further, for better performance, I would suggest you to put index on nodes of type 'term' and use index in the start clause to get t1 and t2
