Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper focuses on the common phenomenon that English attrition has taken place among Chinese engineering freshmen. It displays the reality of Chinese students learning English in Chinese context on the one hand and calls for teachers and students had better recognize the law of English and both make efforts to make learners reach the critical threshold in order to stop attrition on the other hand. Meanwhile, it points out that English language teaching in Chinese context will benefit from the researches on language attrition.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
