Challenges Faced by GUI Agents in Professional Environments
GUI agents encounter three main challenges in professional settings:
- Complex Applications: Professional software is more intricate than general-use applications, requiring a deep understanding of complex layouts.
- High Resolution: Professional tools often have higher resolutions, leading to smaller targets and less accurate interactions.
- Additional Tools: The need for extra tools and documents complicates workflows.
These challenges underline the importance of advanced solutions to improve GUI agent performance.
Limitations of Current GUI Grounding Models
Existing GUI grounding models and benchmarks do not meet the needs of professional environments:
- Tools like ScreenSpot are designed for low-resolution tasks and do not accurately reflect real-world scenarios.
- Models such as OS-Atlas and UGround are inefficient and struggle with small targets or icon-heavy interfaces.
- Lack of multilingual support limits their use in global contexts.
These gaps highlight the need for more realistic benchmarks in this field.
Introducing ScreenSpot-Pro
A team from various universities has developed ScreenSpot-Pro, a framework specifically for high-resolution professional environments. Key features include:
- A dataset with 1,581 tasks across 23 applications in various industries.
- High-resolution visuals and expert annotations for accuracy.
- Multilingual guidelines in English and Chinese.
ScreenSpot-Pro documents real workflows, making it a valuable tool for assessing and developing GUI grounding models.
Realistic Dataset Characteristics
ScreenSpot-Pro captures challenging scenarios with:
- High-resolution images where target regions are only 0.07% of the total screen.
- Data collected by professionals using specialized tools for precise annotations.
- Support for bilingual functionality and various workflows.
This dataset is crucial for improving the accuracy and flexibility of GUI agents.
Performance Analysis of GUI Grounding Models
Analysis using ScreenSpot-Pro shows significant shortcomings in current models:
- OS-Atlas-7B achieved only 18.9% accuracy.
- Iterative methods like ReGround improved performance to 40.2% through fine-tuning.
- Small components and bilingual tasks posed challenges for these models.
These results highlight the need for better techniques to enhance contextual understanding in complex GUI environments.
Transformative Impact of ScreenSpot-Pro
ScreenSpot-Pro establishes a new standard for evaluating GUI agents in high-resolution professional settings.
