ScreenSearch: Uncertainty-Aware OS Exploration

ScreenSearch is a system for exploring desktop GUI states under partial observability. It combines structural screen retrieval, deduplication, and an ambiguity-aware PUCT graph-bandit to expand the reachable frontier while reducing state ambiguity. Across 11 applications, it collected over 1 M screenshots and 30 K deduplicated states, demonstrating that both ambiguity reduction and frontier exploration are essential for effective corpus building.

GUI-CC: Benchmarking Contextual Consistency of GUI World Models as Agent Environments

GUI-CC is a benchmark designed to assess the contextual consistency of GUI world models when used as agent environments, rather than just one‑step next‑screen predictors. It includes two tracks: an offline reference‑action track that rolls models along real mobile GUI trajectories, and an online agent‑loop track where fixed probing agents interact with model‑generated UIs. The benchmark evaluates transition fidelity, plausibility, contextual consistency, and task progress across 500 offline trajectory tasks and 200 online tasks spanning 30 mobile apps.

Are Android GUI Agents Robust Against Runtime Anomalies? AnTrap: Evaluating Agents in Dynamic Adversarial Environments

The paper introduces AnTrap, a benchmark that injects dynamic perturbations into Android GUI agent execution to evaluate robustness against runtime anomalies. It presents a taxonomy of anomalies across four layers—State, Thinking, Action, and Round—with ten subcategories, and a pipeline that maintains task solvability while adding realistic adversarial conditions. Experiments on 16 leading GUI models show universal vulnerability, and reinforcement learning can mitigate some traps but not deep contextual ones like state deadlock.
