This model was introduced in the paper GUI-Actor: Coordinate-Free Visual Grounding for GUI Agents. It is developed based on UI-TARS-2B-SFT and is designed to predict the correctness of an action position given a language instruction. This model is well-suited for GUI-Actor, as its attention map effectively provides diverse candidates for verification with only a single inference.

For more details on model design and evaluation, please check: 🏠 Project Page | 💻 Github Repo | 📑 Paper.

🚀 Usage

The verifier takes a language instruction and an image with a red circle marking the target position as input. One example is shown below. It outputs either ‘True’ or ‘False’, and you can also use the probability of each label to score the sample.
