Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Chinese international students have consistently constituted the largest international student body in the United States (U.S.) higher education for decades. Due to their prominence in U.S. higher education institutions, it is imperative to closely examine their lived experiences. Existing empirical research demonstrates that plenty of Chinese international students are underserved, coping with issues such as culture shock, linguistic barriers, educational disparities, racial discrimination, and mental health concerns. This systematic literature review aims to: 1) Explore whether Chinese international students face challenges in the U.S. higher education; 2) Categorize the challenges (if present) encountered by Chinese international students in the U.S. higher education; 3) Provide recommendations to key stakeholders in international education, empowering them to refine current administrative policies and teaching pedagogies to better support the well-being of Chinese international students in the U.S. higher education.

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.
