UI2Code^N: UI-to-Code Generation as Interactive Visual Optimization

ICML 2026poster

UI-to-code aims to translate UI screenshots into executable front-end code. Despite progress with vision-language models (VLMs), most existing methods formulate UI-to-code as a single-pass generation, which mismatches real-world UI development that is inherently iterative and feedback-driven. We ref…
