MHVF: Training-Free GUI Grounding via Verification-Guided Multi-Hypothesis Search

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: Efficient High-Resolution GUI Grounding via Lightweight Reranker-Guided Crop Selection

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.

Where to Look Matters: Learning Influential Views for VLM-based 3D Visual Grounding

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.
