CoME: Empowering Channel-of-Mobile-Experts with Informative Hybrid-Capabilities Reasoning

ICML 2026poster

Mobile Agents can autonomously execute user instructions, which requires hybrid-capabilities reasoning, including screen summary, subtask planning, action decision and action function. However, existing agents struggle to achieve both decoupled enhancement and balanced integration of these capabilit…

GUI-Shift: Enhancing VLM-Based GUI Agents through Self-supervised Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2026poster

Training effective Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for GUI agents typically depends on large-scale annotated datasets, whose collection is both labor-intensive and error-prone. We introduce K-step GUI Transition, a self-supervised inverse dynamics task in which VLMs learn GUI dynamics by predicting th…

MobileIPL: Enhancing Mobile Agents Thinking Process via Iterative Preference Learning

ICLR 2026poster

The Chain of Action-Planning Thoughts (CoaT) paradigm has been shown to improve the reasoning performance of VLM-based mobile agents in GUI tasks. However, the scarcity of diverse CoaT trajectories limits the expressiveness and generalization ability of such agents. While self-training is commonly e…

SMAN-Bench: A Cross-System Benchmark for Mobile Agents under Single- and Multi-path, Ambiguous, and Noisy Tasks

ICLR 2026poster

VLM-based mobile agents are increasingly popular due to their capabilities to interact with smartphone GUIs and XML-structured texts and to complete daily tasks. However, existing online benchmarks fail to obtain stable critical reward signals under dynamic environmental changes, and neglect the inf…

Scaling, Benchmarking, and Reasoning of Vision-Language Agents for Mobile GUI Navigation

ICML 2026poster

Vision–Language Models (VLMs) have shown rapid progress in mobile GUI navigation. This paper presents a systematic study of data scaling, benchmarking, and reasoning for VLM-based agents in this domain. To facilitate rigorous evaluation, we introduce HyperTrack, a large-scale dataset with over 16000…

BacktrackAgent: Enhancing GUI Agent with Error Detection and Backtracking Mechanism

EMNLP 2025

Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents have gained substantial attention due to their impressive capabilities to complete tasks through multiple interactions within GUI environments. However, existing agents primarily focus on enhancing the accuracy of individual actions and often lack effective mech

Multilingual Machine Translation with Open Large Language Models at Practical Scale: An Empirical Study

NAACL 2025long

Large language models (LLMs) have shown continuously improving multilingual capabilities, and even small-scale open-source models have demonstrated rapid performance enhancement. In this paper, we systematically explore the abilities of open LLMs with less than ten billion parameters to handle multi…

An Empirical Study of Consistency Regularization for End-to-End Speech-to-Text Translation

NAACL 2024long

Consistency regularization methods, such as R-Drop (Liang et al., 2021) and CrossConST (Gao et al., 2023), have achieved impressive supervised and zero-shot performance in the neural machine translation (NMT) field. Can we also boost end-to-end (E2E) speech-to-text translation (ST) by leveraging con…

LLMs Assist NLP Researchers: Critique Paper (Meta-)Reviewing

EMNLP 2024main

Claim: This work is not advocating the use of LLMs for paper (meta-)reviewing. Instead, wepresent a comparative analysis to identify and distinguish LLM activities from human activities. Two research goals: i) Enable better recognition of instances when someone implicitly uses LLMs for reviewing act…

Improving Zero-shot Multilingual Neural Machine Translation by Leveraging Cross-lingual Consistency Regularization

ACL 2023findings

The multilingual neural machine translation (NMT) model has a promising capability of zero-shot translation, where it could directly translate between language pairs unseen during training. For good transfer performance from supervised directions to zero-shot directions, the multilingual NMT model i…

Bi-SimCut: A Simple Strategy for Boosting Neural Machine Translation

NAACL 2022long

We introduce Bi-SimCut: a simple but effective training strategy to boost neural machine translation (NMT) performance. It consists of two procedures: bidirectional pretraining and unidirectional finetuning. Both procedures utilize SimCut, a simple regularization method that forces the consistency b…

Mixup Decoding for Diverse Machine Translation

EMNLP 2021finding

Diverse machine translation aims at generating various target language translations for a given source language sentence. To leverage the linear relationship in the sentence latent space introduced by the mixup training, we propose a novel method, MixDiversity, to generate different translations for…
