Benchmarking Living-Screen-Native GUI Agents on Short-Video Platforms

GUI agents today assume a static screen, where the world is frozen between two actions. However, real interfaces such as short-video applications violate this assumption, as their content keeps playing, and a competent user must decide what to watch and for how long. We formalize this task as Living-Screen-Native GUI agents and introduce LivingScreen, the first benchmark instantiating it on short-video platforms, with a faithful browser-based environment, a three-tier task suite, and metrics that jointly score accuracy and information efficiency. Evaluating extensive frontier models, we find that none reaches the human cost-accuracy performance, and that their dominant failure mode is over- and under-observation, pointing to observation control as a missing capability axis for future GUI agents. All data and code will be available at https://github.com/BITHLP/LivingScreen.

Beyond Cosine Similarity: Zero-Initialized Residual Complex Projection for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) faces critical challenges due to representation entanglement and false-negative collisions in real-valued embedding spaces. In this paper, we propose a novel framework featuring a Zero-Initialized Residual Complex Projection (ZRCP) and an Anti-collision Masked Angle Loss. Our approach projects textual features into a complex semantic space, utilizing the phase to isolate sentiment polarities while regularizing the amplitude to ensure structural consistency within aspect categories. To mitigate this, we introduce an anti-collision mask that preserves intra-polarity aspect cohesion while significantly expanding the discriminative margin between opposing polarities. Experimental results on the ASAP dataset demonstrate that our framework achieves a state-of-the-art Macro-F1 score of 0.8923, outperforming robust baselines.

HomeSafeBench: Benchmarking Embodied Vision-Language Models in Free-Exploration Home Safety Inspection

Safety hazards in the home are a leading cause of preventable domestic injuries, motivating an automated inspector that actively explores a home and reports hazards before they cause harm. We introduce HomeSafeBench, the first benchmark for free-exploration home safety inspection with egocentric visual feedback, in which an embodied agent navigates a fully interactive 3D home, adjusts its viewpoint, and reports hazards purely from rendered first-person views. Built on the VirtualHome simulator, it covers five categories of common household hazards and comprises 1,000 human-validated inspection tasks. Evaluating a broad range of state-of-the-art Vision-Language Models (VLMs) reveals a large gap, where the best model reaches only about 34.7% F1, far below the 98.0% of a human inspector. Moreover, precision far exceeds recall across models, revealing a systematic tendency to under-report hazards that reflects a shared deficiency in risk recognition. To close this gap at low cost, we propose CueBack, an offline data-construction method that exploits the clue-precedes-confirmation structure of inspection, backtracking a privileged trajectory to the earliest frame where a hazard cue becomes visible and rewriting it into executable supervision. Fine-tuning a 4B-size VLM on CueBack-constructed data raises the average F1 from 18.7% to 45.3% on an out-of-distribution test set, surpassing the strongest closed-source model performance 34.7%. The benchmark, training dataset, and code are available at https://github.com/BITHLP/HomeSafeBench.

ReFF: Reinforcing Format Faithfulness in Language Models across Varied Tasks

Following formatting instructions to generate well-structured content is a fundamental yet often unmet capability for large language models (LLMs). To study this capability, which we refer to as format faithfulness, we present FormatBench, a comprehensive format-related benchmark. Compared to previous format-related benchmarks, FormatBench involves a greater variety of tasks in terms of application scenes (traditional NLP tasks, creative works, autonomous agency tasks), human-LLM interaction styles (single-turn instruction, multi-turn chat), and format types (inclusion, wrapping, length, coding). Moreover, each task in FormatBench is attached with a format checker program. Extensive experiments on the benchmark reveal that state-of-the-art open- and closed-source LLMs still suffer from severe deficiency in format faithfulness. By virtue of the decidable nature of formats, we propose to Reinforce Format Faithfulness (ReFF) to help LLMs generate formatted output as instructed without compromising general quality. Without any annotated data, ReFF can substantially improve the format faithfulness rate (e.g., from 21.6% in original LLaMA3 to 95.0% on caption segmentation task), while keep the general quality comparable (e.g., from 47.3 to 46.4 in F1 scores). Combined with labeled training data, ReFF can simultaneously improve both format faithfulness (e.g., from 21.6% in original LLaMA3 to 75.5%) and general quality (e.g., from 47.3 to 61.6 in F1 scores). We further offer an interpretability analysis to explain how ReFF improves both format faithfulness and general quality.
