arXiv:2608. 11191v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: GUI Visual Grounding is a fundamental capability for GUI agents.
By Shiyu Xuan, Zechao Li
CA-OPD is a confidence‑aware on‑policy distillation framework that improves structured visual prediction by using teacher confidence to selectively correct unreliable student transitions and gradually transfer rollout control to the student. The method aligns supervision with intervention decisions, providing direct cross‑entropy loss for corrected tokens and full predictive distribution for retained tokens. In a multi‑teacher setting for GUI grounding and OCR, CA‑OPD significantly outperforms the Qwen3.5‑0.8B baseline, achieving large gains on benchmarks such as ScreenSpot‑Pro and OCRBench‑v2 English.

On-Policy distillation (OPD) transfers teacher capabilities by supervising student-sampled trajectories with dense token-level teacher signals. Recent selective OPD methods improve this process by prioritizing signals that are confident, informative, or learnable.
