Re: [lkb] generation ranking in LKB

any number will activate n-best selective unpacking, so you can choose  
how many realizations you want returned (at most).  as for the  
specific model, it's the ‘combined’ model from the EMNLP paper;  
however, just now i'm not sure the MEM file has been updated for the  
change in ERG rule identifiers.  in principle, that model should be  
retrained, i guess.  we have been a little slack about this in recent  
ERG releases ...

cheers, oe
