Borda Count Aggregation

Borda count is a preference aggregation method that combines ranked predictions from multiple classifiers by assigning points based on ranking position. Each classifier ranks the possible outcomes, and each class receives points inversely proportional to its rank position. The class with the highest total score is selected. Originally proposed by French mathematician Jean-Charles de Borda in 1781, this method has been adapted for ensemble learning to aggregate soft predictions and rank-ordered outputs.
