Faithful Mobile GUI Agents with Guided Advantage Estimator

ICML 2026poster

Vision-language model (VLM) based graphical user interface (GUI) agents have shown strong interaction capabilities. However, they often behave unfaithfully, relying on memorized shortcuts rather than grounding actions in displayed screen evidence or user instructions. To address this, we propose **F…

GEM: Gaussian Embedding Modeling for Out-of-Distribution Detection in GUI Agents

AAAI 2026technical

Graphical user interface (GUI) agents have recently emerged as an intriguing paradigm for human-computer interaction, capable of automatically executing user instructions to operate intelligent terminal devices. However, when encountering out-of-distribution (OOD) instructions that violate environm

See, Think, Act: Teaching Multimodal Agents to Effectively Interact with GUI by Identifying Toggles

CVPR 2026

The advent of multimodal agents facilitates effective interaction within graphical user interface (GUI), especially in ubiquitous GUI control. However, their inability to reliably execute toggle control instructions remains a key bottleneck. To investigate this, we construct a state control benchmar

Gracefully Filtering Backdoor Samples for Generative Large Language Models without Retraining

COLING 2025main

Backdoor attacks remain significant security threats to generative large language models (LLMs). Since generative LLMs output sequences of high-dimensional token logits instead of low-dimensional classification logits, most existing backdoor defense methods designed for discriminative models like BE…

Hidden Ghost Hand: Unveiling Backdoor Vulnerabilities in MLLM-Powered Mobile GUI Agents

EMNLP 2025

Graphical user interface (GUI) agents powered by multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown greater promise for human-interaction. However, due to the high fine-tuning cost, users often rely on open-source GUI agents or APIs offered by AI providers, which introduces a critical but underexpl

OS-Kairos: Adaptive Interaction for MLLM-Powered GUI Agents

ACL 2025finding

Autonomous graphical user interface (GUI) agents powered by multimodal large language models have shown great promise. However, a critical yet underexplored issue persists: over-execution, where the agent executes tasks in a fully autonomous way, without adequate assessment of its action confidence…

Acquiring Clean Language Models from Backdoor Poisoned Datasets by Downscaling Frequency Space

ACL 2024long

Despite the notable success of language models (LMs) in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, the reliability of LMs is susceptible to backdoor attacks. Prior research attempts to mitigate backdoor learning while training the LMs on the poisoned dataset, yet struggles against complex back…

PLMmark: A Secure and Robust Black-Box Watermarking Framework for Pre-trained Language Models

AAAI 2023technical

The huge training overhead, considerable commercial value, and various potential security risks make it urgent to protect the intellectual property (IP) of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). DNN watermarking has become a plausible method to meet this need. However, most of the existing watermarking scheme…
