MHVF: Training-Free GUI Grounding via Verification-Guided Multi-Hypothesis Search

We propose the Multi-Hypothesis Verification Framework (MHVF) for training-free GUI grounding.

Key points

  • GUI grounding enables web agents to translate natural-language instructions into actionable interface locations.
  • It combines multi-hypothesis exploration with local visual verification using a single pretrained vision-language model.
  • To explore alternative targets, MHVF constructs spatial hypotheses from multiple full-screen predictions and examines the corresponding regions through zoomed re-localization.
  • MHVF improves UI-Venus-Ground-7B by 4.3 and 2.1 percentage points on Mind2Web and VisualWebBench, respectively, and raises Qwen2.5-VL-7B's accuracy on ScreenSpot-Pro from 23.6% to 53.6%.
