BiGrounder enhances GUI grounding with bidirectional training

Researchers have developed BiGrounder, a novel approach to GUI grounding that maps natural language instructions to precise operational coordinates for autonomous agents. Unlike previous methods that relied solely on final coordinate supervision, BiGrounder employs a bidirectional training paradigm. This method equips the model to generate action descriptions from target coordinates during supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and then grounds these descriptions back to their targets during reinforcement learning (RL). A cycle-consistency gate ensures semantic quality is linked to grounding success, creating a self-reinforcing training loop. A 4-billion parameter model utilizing this technique demonstrated competitive accuracy across five grounding benchmarks. AI

IMPACT This bidirectional training approach could improve the robustness and accuracy of autonomous agents interacting with graphical user interfaces.
