"The combination of multiple clustering processes provides a means for building robust document clustering systems. This work focuses on the consolida- tion of fuzzy clusterings, proposing two consensus functions for soft cluster ensembles based on the Borda and Condorcet positional voting strategies. Experiments con- ducted on two document corpora reveal that the proposed soft consensus functions are capable of yielding consensus partitions of comparable or superior quality to those obtained by state-of-the-art clustering combiners, although their computa- tional complexity is higher due to the ranking process inherent to positional voting techniques."
