What's Missing in Screen-to-Action? Towards a UI-in-the-Loop Paradigm for Multimodal GUI Reasoning
Researchers have introduced a new paradigm called UI-in-the-Loop (UILoop) to improve how multimodal large language models (MLLMs) understand and interact with graphical user interfaces (GUIs). This approach treats GUI reasoning as a cyclical process involving screen elements, enabling MLLMs to learn the localization, semantic functions, and usage of UI components for more precise and interpretable reasoning. To evaluate this, a new benchmark called UI Comprehension-Bench, containing 26,000 samples, has been developed, demonstrating UILoop's state-of-the-art performance in UI understanding and GUI reasoning tasks.
