• Abstract: This study explores an interesting pattern emerging from research that combines artificial intelligence with sound symbolism. In these studies, supervised machine learning algorithms are trained to classify samples based on the sounds of referent names. Machine learning algorithms are efficient learners of sound symbolism, but they tend to bias one category over the other. The pattern is this: when a category arguably represents greater threat, the algorithms tend to overpredict to that category. A hypothesis, framed by error management theory, is presented that proposes that this may be evidence of an adaptation to preference cautious behaviour. This hypothesis is tested by constructing extreme gradient boosted (XGBoost) models using the sounds that make up the names of Chinese, Japanese and Korean Pokemon and observing classification error distribution.

  The paper argues that token-level language models should be marginalized into character-level language models before they are used in psycholinguistic studies. We find various focal areas whose surprisal is a better psychometric predictor than the surprisal of the region of interest itself.

  In this article a new kind of interpretable machine learning method is presented. It can help to understand the partitioning of the feature space into predicted classes in a classification model using quantile shifts. Basically, real data points (or specific points of interest) are used and the changes of the prediction after slightly raising or decreasing specific features are observed.
