Infographics and user interfaces share design concepts and visual languages. To address the complexity of each, Google Research introduced ScreenAI, a Vision-Language Model (VLM) capable of comprehending UIs and infographics. ScreenAI achieved remarkable performance on various tasks and released three new datasets to advance the field. Learn more in the research paper.

Introducing ScreenAI: A Vision-Language Model for User interfaces (UI) and Infographics Understanding
The capacity of infographics to strategically arrange and use visual signals to clarify complicated concepts has made them essential for efficient communication. Infographics include various visual elements such as charts, diagrams, illustrations, maps, tables, and document layouts. This has been a long-standing technique that makes the material easier to understand. User interfaces (UIs) on desktop and mobile platforms share design concepts and visual languages with infographics in the modern digital world.
Challenges and Solution
Though there is a lot of overlap between UIs and infographics, creating a cohesive model is made more difficult by the complexity of each. To address this, in a recent Google Research, a team of researchers proposed ScreenAI as a solution. ScreenAI is a Vision-Language Model (VLM) that has the ability to comprehend both UIs and infographics fully. Tasks like graphical question-answering (QA) have been included in its scope.
Key Features and Benefits
ScreenAI can manage jobs like element annotation, summarization, navigation, and additional UI-specific QA. Several tests have been carried out to demonstrate its functionality, with impressive results on tasks like Multipage DocVQA, WebSRC, MoTIF, and Widget Captioning. The team has also released three additional datasets to further advance the field.
Primary Contributions
The Vision-Language Model (VLM) ScreenAI concept is a step towards a holistic solution that focuses on infographic and user interface comprehension. One significant advancement is the development of a textual representation for UIs, improving the model’s capacity to comprehend and process visual data.
