How to choose second or third likely word as the output

Generally, we choose the most likely word, the id associated with the maximum logit value, as the emitted word (this is the "greedy" behavior). But in some cases, I want to choose the least likely word as the output, how should I modify the code?

I have a similar question. How to select the second, third ... likely word?
