WebRISE: Requirement-Induced State Evaluation for MLLM-Generated Web Artifacts

arXiv:2606. 03220v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing benchmarks for MLLM-generated web artifacts assess interaction through local evidence and miss the requirement-induced states and transitions that determine whether a page works.

Wuying-Browser-Agent: Real-World Centric Fundamental Long-Horizon Browser Agents

Wuying-Browser-Agent is a unified framework designed to improve long-horizon browser agents by aligning execution, supervision, optimization, and evaluation. It introduces a structured browser harness, reflection and UI-specialized Curriculum SFT (RUIC‑SFT) for recovery and complex UI interactions, and Divergence‑Aware Online GRPO (DAO‑GRPO) for better credit assignment. The framework is evaluated on BrowserBench—a bilingual real‑web benchmark of 350 tasks—and achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on multiple browser‑use benchmarks, while also transferring well to other agentic tasks.

WebUIProof: Benchmarking WebUI Code Generators with UI-Agent Execution Harness

WebUIProof is a new execution‑oriented benchmark for WebUI code generation that supplies structured specifications and dense, executable interaction tests across general WebUIs and 3D interactive simulations. It employs a UI‑agent harness that runs tests in a headless browser using a plan–act–observe loop to locate DOM elements, perform actions, observe changes, and verify assertions. Evaluations on eight commercial LLMs reveal frequent interaction‑based failures, especially on 3D interfaces, and demonstrate that training compact models with RL rewards from these tests improves functional completion and reduces build failures.

SCAFFOLD: Self-Improving Web Agents via Recursive Parametric Skill Abstraction

SCAFFOLD is a self‑improving framework for visual web agents that automatically induces parametric, executable skills from successful trajectories and organizes them into a recursively composed hierarchy. It compresses the skill library using a minimum‑description‑length criterion and behavioral equivalence checks, and periodically distills these skills back into model weights to internalize the abstractions. Experiments on WebArena, VisualWebArena, and Online‑Mind2Web show that SCAFFOLD raises success rates by 11.1–17.2 absolute points over the best skill‑augmented baseline and continues to improve across five self‑improvement iterations without collapsing the library.
