Biography
Jialin Yang is a PhD student at DENOS Lab working on large language models, knowledge distillation, and federated learning. His work runs from carbon-aware container orchestration, where he surveys task scheduling and predicts workload energy consumption, through to compressing the reasoning of large models into smaller ones.
Projects
-
Carbon-aware container orchestration
Task scheduling and workload energy prediction that let container platforms account for carbon without centralizing sensitive operational data.
-
Knowledge distillation for reasoning
Structural rationale distillation that compresses the reasoning space of large models into smaller ones.
