9. A machine translation system for system combination, comprising: a memory; and a processor, the processor is coupled to the memory and configured to execute the following computer-executable stored in the memory to translate a sentence: a first component configured to align, order, and select words from hypotheses, from multiple machine translation systems, in combination, rather than independently and incrementally, to maximize a scoring function, comprising a set of feature functions, over a combination of alignment, order, and selection.
