Your question is a bit ambiguous.
Here is how mead works:
1. it extracts features using the feature extractors
2. it combines them using the combiner. This is where you can specify
how the features should be combined, e.g., linearly, loglinearly, etc.
By default, MEAS uses a linear combination of features using default
weights. Note that the Length is not included by default. It is a
special "cutoff" value that removes sentences that are too short.
