  • Automatic Prompt Optimization with Prompt Distillation: A novel non-gradient-based method that leverages prompt distillation, compression, and aggregation to automatically generate high-performing prompts for language models.

  • Generative Interfaces for Language Models: A new paradigm that enables language models to dynamically generate interactive user interfaces, adapting to user goals and requirements beyond static text responses.

  • Dojo: A Differentiable Physics Engine for Robotics: A physics engine that prioritizes stable simulation, accurate contact physics, and differentiability, enabling improved trajectory optimization, policy learning, and system identification for robotic systems.

  • Ego-Foresight: Self-supervised Learning of Agent-Aware Representations for Improved RL: A self-supervised approach that disentangles agent and environment representations, leading to more sample-efficient and flexible reinforcement learning, especially in real-world robotic tasks.

  • Prompt-based Dynamic Token Pruning for Efficient Segmentation of Medical Images: A novel prompt-driven framework that selectively reduces the processing of irrelevant tokens in vision transformers, improving the efficiency of medical image segmentation.
