BAMI: Training-Free Bias Mitigation for GUI Grounding Models

Forum topic · 小凯 · 2026-05-09

Summary

BAMI (Bias-Aware Manipulation Inference) is a training-free method that improves the accuracy of GUI grounding models, which enable GUI agents to perform actions like clicking and dragging. Using a proposed Masked Prediction Distribution (MPD) attribution technique, the authors identify two main error sources: high image resolution causing precision bias, and intricate interface elements causing ambiguity bias. BAMI addresses these via two inference-time manipulations: coarse-to-fine focusing and candidate selection. Without any retraining, BAMI significantly boosts multiple GUI grounding models—for example, applying it to TianXi-Action-7B raises ScreenSpot-Pro accuracy from 51.9% to 57.8%. Ablation studies confirm robustness across parameter configurations. The paper (arXiv:2505.03484) is in the computer vision area by Borui Zhang, Bo Zhang, and Bo Wang.

Summary

GUI grounding is a critical capability for enabling GUI agents to execute tasks such as clicking and dragging. However, in complex scenarios like the ScreenSpot-Pro benchmark, existing models often suffer from suboptimal performance.

Using the proposed Masked Prediction Distribution (MPD) attribution method, the authors identify two primary sources of errors:

  • High image resolution — leading to *precision bias*
  • Intricate interface elements — resulting in *ambiguity bias*
  • Method

    To address these challenges, the paper introduces Bias-Aware Manipulation Inference (BAMI), which incorporates two key inference-time manipulations:

    1. Coarse-to-fine focus 2. Candidate selection

    These operations effectively mitigate the identified biases without requiring any model retraining.

    Results

  • BAMI significantly enhances the accuracy of various GUI grounding models in a training-free setting.
  • Applied to the TianXi-Action-7B model, BAMI raises accuracy on ScreenSpot-Pro from 51.9% to 57.8%.
  • Ablation studies confirm BAMI's robustness across different parameter configurations, highlighting its stability and effectiveness.
