GUI-WORLD introduces a video benchmark and dataset of 12,379 GUI videos across six diverse scenarios to enhance multimodal GUI understanding, focusing on dynamic and sequential content. An exploratory GUI-VID model fine-tuned on this dataset achieves an average performance improvement of 30% over its baseline in various GUI tasks.

Key insights

  • Commercial vision LLMs (e.g., GPT-4o, GPT-4V) outperform open-source video LLMs in zero-shot GUI understanding, but even they struggle with detailed descriptions of entire videos and fine-grained static content.
  • Dynamic GUI tasks and temporal understanding remain significant challenges for current MLLMs, highlighting the need for improved temporal reasoning and visual perception capabilities.
  • Enhancing vision perception through higher resolution and more keyframes, alongside integrating detailed textual information, significantly improves MLLM performance in dynamic GUI tasks.
  • Model-based keyframe selection strategies, particularly those adapted from embodied AI, show promise in automating the labor-intensive manual keyframe extraction process for dataset scaling.
