The paper introduces MHVF, a training‑free framework for GUI grounding that uses multi‑hypothesis exploration and local visual verification with a single pretrained vision‑language model. MHVF generates spatial hypotheses from full‑screen predictions, refines them through zoomed re‑localization, and verifies candidate agreement with the instruction to resolve ambiguity. Experiments on eight benchmarks with five models show significant accuracy gains, notably improving UI‑Venus‑Ground‑7B by 4.3 pp on Mind2Web and raising Qwen2.5‑VL‑7B’s ScreenSpot‑Pro accuracy from 23.6 % to 53.6 %.
RankGround is a two‑stage framework for GUI grounding that uses a single Vision‑Language Model call per query. It introduces GroundRanker, a lightweight multimodal reranker that selects the most promising crop from a dense candidate set, trained with a two‑stage curriculum on ranking supervision data derived from existing grounding datasets. Experiments show RankGround outperforms strong baselines, achieving 1.4× faster inference and a 5.5% average improvement in localization accuracy over the second‑best method across all backbones and screen scales.
arXiv:2511. 00810v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graphical user interface (GUI) grounding is a key capability for computer-use agents, mapping natural-language instructions to actionable regions on the screen.
GUI agents are shifting from metadata-dependent large language models to purely visual multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that operate directly on screenshots. The core task, GUI grounding, requires translating abstract user instructions into precise element coordinates.

IVSGround introduces a lightweight view selector that learns to choose the most informative camera views for vision‑language model (VLM) based 3D visual grounding, replacing heuristic view selection. The selector is trained via a two‑stage rejection sampling process that uses feedback from a reasoning VLM to generate supervision signals. Experiments on ScanRefer and NR3D demonstrate that IVSGround consistently improves grounding accuracy over existing zero‑shot pipelines, underscoring the importance of selecting where to look for effective 3D visual grounding.
