BBCritic reframes GUI critique as continuous semantic alignment via contrastive learning in an affordance space, outperforming larger binary SOTA models on a new four-level hierarchical benchmark without extra annotations.
EVPO adaptively switches between critic-based and batch-mean advantage estimation using batch-level explained variance to provably achieve no greater variance than the better of PPO or GRPO at every step.
VisCritic uses visual comparison of pre- and post-action GUI screenshots via a Siamese vision transformer and Action-Aware Critic Head to provide process rewards, improving agent performance on benchmarks.
ChainWorld builds 347 chains from atomic OSWorld tasks and benchmarks four agents under single-turn and multi-turn protocols, reporting a maximum 31% completion rate with distinct failure profiles.
StainFlow proposes global entity stain tracking and local stain evidence linking modules to improve process rewards for GUI agents, reporting 3.2% relative gain in online RL success and 1.8% in judgment accuracy on AndroidWorld and OGRBench.
