Supplementary Materials of "Classifying Evolutionary Forces in Language Change Using Neural Networks"

This document supplements the paper "Classifying Evolutionary Forces in Language Change Using Neural Networks'' (see https://doi.org/10.1017/ehs.2020.52). The document provides extensive details about the generation of training data, the training procedure, and the parameters used to train the machine learning models. Additionally, we have supplemented all steps with Python code blocks to increase conceptual and technical understanding of the procedure, thus enabling other researchers to reproduce our results more easily as well as to apply the approach to their own work.
