FineState-Bench: Benchmarking State-Conditioned Grounding for Fine-grained GUI State Setting

Despite the rapid progress of large vision-language models (LVLMs), fine-grained, state-conditioned GUI interaction remains challenging. Current evaluations offer limited coverage, imprecise target-state definitions, and an overreliance on final-task success, obscuring where and why agents fail. To address this gap, we introduce \textbf{FineState-Bench}, a benchmark that evaluates whether an agent can correctly ground an instruction to the intended UI control and reach the exact target state. FineState-Bench comprises 2,209 instances across desktop, web, and mobile platforms, spanning four interaction families and 23 UI component types, with each instance explicitly specifying an exact target state for fine-grained state setting. We further propose \textit{FineState-Metrics}, a four-stage diagnostic pipeline with stage-wise success rates: Localization Success Rate (SR@Loc), Interaction Success Rate (SR@Int), Exact State Success Rate at Locate (ES-SR@Loc), and Exact State Success Rate at Interact (ES-SR@Int), and a plug-and-play \textit{Visual Diagnostic Assistant} (VDA) that generates a Description and a bounding-box Localization Hint to diagnose visual grounding reason via controlled w/ vs.\ w/o comparisons. On FineState-Bench, exact goal-state success remains low: ES-SR@Int peaks at 32.8\% on Web and 22.8\% on average across platforms. With VDA localization hints, Gemini-2.5-Flash gains +14.9 ES-SR@Int points, suggesting substantial headroom from improved visual grounding, yet overall accuracy is still insufficient for reliable fine-grained state-conditioned interaction \href{https://github.com/FengxianJi/FineState-Bench}{Github.}

Geolocation with Real Human Gameplay Data: A Large-Scale Dataset and Human-Like Reasoning Framework

Geolocation, the task of identifying an image's location, requires complex reasoning and is crucial for navigation, monitoring, and cultural preservation. However, current methods often produce coarse, imprecise, and non-interpretable localization. A major challenge lies in the quality and scale of existing geolocation datasets. These datasets are typically small-scale and automatically constructed, leading to noisy data and inconsistent task difficulty, with images that either reveal answers too easily or lack sufficient clues for reliable inference. To address these challenges, we introduce a comprehensive geolocation framework with three key components: GeoComp, a large-scale dataset; GeoCoT, a novel reasoning method; and GeoEval, an evaluation metric, collectively designed to address critical challenges and drive advancements in geolocation research. At the core of this framework is GeoComp (Geolocation Competition Dataset), a large-scale dataset collected from a geolocation game platform involving 740K users over two years. It comprises 25 million entries of metadata and 3 million geo-tagged locations spanning much of the globe, with each location annotated thousands to tens of thousands of times by human users. The dataset offers diverse difficulty levels for detailed analysis and highlights key gaps in current models. Building on this dataset, we propose Geographical Chain-of-Thought (GeoCoT), a novel multi-step reasoning framework designed to enhance the reasoning capabilities of Large Vision Models (LVMs) in geolocation tasks. GeoCoT improves performance by integrating contextual and spatial cues through a multi-step process that mimics human geolocation reasoning. Finally, using the GeoEval metric, we demonstrate that GeoCoT significantly boosts geolocation accuracy by up to 25% while enhancing interpretability.

TextAlign: Preference Alignment for Text Rendering with Hierarchical Rewards

Faithful text rendering remains a persistent weakness of large text-to-image generative models, as it requires both semantic instruction following and fine-grained glyph-level structure. Prior methods often improve this ability through architecture-specific modules or encoder modifications, which complicate deployment across foundation models. We study text rendering as a post-training preference-alignment problem and propose TextAlign, a non-invasive framework that keeps the generator architecture unchanged. The key component is a hierarchical vision-language model (VLM)-based reward that decomposes rendering errors into global, word, and glyph levels, then converts binary defect judgments into a scalar preference signal. The resulting signal supports both Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). Experiments on FLUX.1-dev and Z-Image-Turbo show consistent gains in OCR-based text accuracy without degrading general generation quality. Compared with strong foundation and text-rendering baselines, including SD3.5, Qwen-Image, AnyText, and TextDiffuser, these results indicate that reward design offers a scalable alternative to model redesign for improving text rendering.
