Task-Adaptive Rubrics for GUI Reward Modeling

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces AdaptRubric, a Coarse-to-Fine Rubrics Framework designed to create task‑adaptive judging criteria for GUI reward modeling. It first retrieves a category‑level coarse rubric by mapping instructions to a GUI task family, then generates an instance‑level fine rubric that captures specific values, scopes, and constraints from the instruction. Experiments show that AdaptRubric outperforms existing reward agents, improving F1 by 3.6 points and achieving a 4.23‑point task‑success gain under a matched image budget.
