Subject

Inquiry on reasoning efficiency in large language models (Li Ming, Peking University)

Opening

Dear Prof. Tanaka, Please excuse this unsolicited message. My name is Li Ming, a fourth-year student at Peking University's Department of Computer Science. I read your 2024 IEEE Transactions paper on 'Spectral Attention for Transformer Inference Efficiency' and was deeply impressed by your approach to reducing computational complexity from O(n²) to O(n log n).

Research connection

My graduation thesis focuses on knowledge distillation for LLMs in low-resource environments. I believe your spectral attention mechanism directly addresses computation cost reduction challenges I face. Your KAKENHI project on 'Foundation Technologies for Next-Generation Edge AI' (2023–2026) and its focus on edge inference optimization strongly aligns with my interests.

Closing

If you are open to it, I would be grateful to discuss the possibility of pursuing a master's degree in your laboratory. I am able to communicate in either English or Japanese. Thank you very much for your time.

Research connection

Prof. Yamamoto's NeurIPS 2023 paper on 'Correcting Distribution Shift in Non-IID Data for Federated Learning' directly applies to my research on generalizing low-resource LLMs. Your lab's focus on 'Privacy-Preserving Distributed Learning' (Challenging Research KAKENHI 2024–) also aligns closely with my interest in edge device deployment.
