VDC-Agent: When Video Detailed Captioners Evolve Themselves via Agentic Self-Reflection

arXiv:2511. 19436v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing Video Detailed Captioning (VDC) methods predominantly rely on costly human annotations or distillation from powerful proprietary models, creating a dependency on external supervision.

SkillLens: Visual Skill Cards for Retrieval-Augmented GUI Action Prediction and On-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2608. 10775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-using agents can perceive rich software interfaces, yet their decisions often lack visual procedural memory: they may recognize individual controls without identifying which familiar workflow is active, which control matters next, or what evidence would confirm progress.
