A Bayesian nonparametric mixture model for studying universal patterns in color naming

作者:

Highlights:

• Universal color naming patterns were uncovered using a Bayesian nonparametric model.

• Members from a language were found in multiple clusters, highlighting diversity.

• Results provide insight into the properties of systems at time of data collection.

• Implementation shows how machine learning can be tailored for the social sciences.
