This lecture presents a simple soft clustering algorithm. This algorithm is based on representing clusters by Gaussian distributions. A soft clustering is then obtained by an additive mixture of Gaussian distributions.- a "Gaussian mixture model".
Read more about soft clustering with Gaussian mixture models in Chapter 8 of mlbook.cs.aalto.fi.
