BAMI: Training-Free Bias Mitigation in GUI Grounding
GUI grounding is a critical capability for enabling GUI agents to execute tasks such as clicking and dragging. However, in complex scenarios like the ScreenSpot-Pro benchmark, existing models often suffer from suboptimal performance. Utilizing the proposed \textbf{Masked Prediction Distribution (MPD)} attribution method, we identify that the primary sources of errors are twofold: high image resolution (leading to precision bias) and intricate interface elements (resulting in ambiguity bias). To address these challenges, we introduce \textbf{Bias-Aware Manipulation Inference (BAMI)}, which incorporates two key manipulations, coarse-to-fine focus and candidate selection, to effectively mitigate these biases. Our extensive experimental results demonstrate that BAMI significantly enhances the accuracy of various GUI grounding models in a training-free setting. For instance, applying our method to the TianXi-Action-7B model boosts its accuracy on the ScreenSpot-Pro benchmark from 51.9\% to 57.8\%. Furthermore, ablation studies confirm the robustness of the BAMI approach across diverse parameter configurations, highlighting its stability and effectiveness.

AdaZoom-GUI: Adaptive Zoom-based GUI Grounding with Instruction Refinement
GUI grounding is a critical capability for vision-language models (VLMs) that enables automated interaction with graphical user interfaces by locating target elements from natural language instructions. However, grounding on GUI screenshots remains challenging due to high-resolution images, small UI elements, and ambiguous user instructions. In this work, we propose AdaZoom-GUI, an adaptive zoom-based GUI grounding framework that improves both localization accuracy and instruction understanding. Our approach introduces an instruction refinement module that rewrites natural language commands into explicit and detailed descriptions, allowing the grounding model to focus on precise element localization. In addition, we design a conditional zoom-in strategy that selectively performs a second-stage inference on predicted small elements, improving localization accuracy while avoiding unnecessary computation and context loss on simpler cases. To support this framework, we construct a high-quality GUI grounding dataset and train the grounding model using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), enabling the model to predict both click coordinates and element bounding boxes. Experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance among models with comparable or even larger parameter sizes, highlighting its effectiveness for high-resolution GUI understanding and practical GUI agent deployment.
