Welcome to my page! I am Dunyao Xue, a PhD student in Statistics at the Institute of Statistics and Big Data, Renmin University of China, advised by Dr. Cheng Meng and Dr. Wenlin Dai.

Prior to this, I received a BSc degree in Mathematics from the Cuiying Honors School, Lanzhou University.

My research interests include data compression, optimal transport, ensemble learning, and large language model architectures. I am especially interested in applying statistical and machine learning methods to large language models (LLMs), with the goal of improving the performance or efficiency of model training and inference.

update
From July 6 to 11, I attended ICML 2026 in Seoul and presented our MoE work, MP-MoE.
update
I attended Huawei’s “Zijin Summit” Young Scholars Paper Sharing Seminar and shared our optimal transport work, SEINT.
update
Project “Large Language Model Inference Optimization Based on Ensemble Pruning” received institute-level support as a 2026 Graduate Student Scientific Research Fund Project of the Institute of Statistics and Big Data, one of eight funded projects institute-wide.
update
I was invited to attend the International Seminar on Foundational Artificial Intelligence (FAIC) and presented a poster. View Poster
