arXiv:2604.04399v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating GUI agents presents a distinct challenge: trajectories are long, visually grounded, and open-ended, yet evaluation must be both accurate and interpretable. Existing approaches typically apply a single holistic judgment over the entire action-observation sequence-a strategy that proves unreliable on long-horizon tasks and yields binary verdicts offering no insight into where or why an agent fails. This opacity limits the utility of evaluation as a diagnostic tool for agent development. We introduce GUIDE (GUI Understanding and Interpretable Diagnostic Evaluation), a framework that decomposes trajectory assessment into three sequential stages mirroring the compositional structure of GUI tasks. Trajectory Segmentation partitions the full trace into semantically coherent subtask units. Subtask Diagnosis evaluates each unit in context, assigning a completion verdict and generating a structured error analysis with corrective recommendations. Overall Summary aggregates per-subtask diagnoses into a task-level judgment. By operating on bounded subtask segments rather than full trajectories, GUIDE mitigates the context overload that degrades existing evaluators as task complexity grows. We validate GUIDE on three benchmarks: an industrial e-commerce dataset of 932 trajectories, AGENTREWARDBENCH spanning five web agent tasks with 1302 trajectories, and AndroidBench for mobile device control. Across all settings, GUIDE substantially outperforms existing evaluators-achieving up to 5.35 percentage points higher accuracy than the strongest baseline-while producing structured diagnostic reports that directly inform agent improvement.

Boosting Meta-Learning for Few-Shot Text Classification via Label-guided Distance Scaling

arXiv:2603.02267v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot text classification aims to recognize unseen classes with limited labeled text samples. Existing approaches focus on boosting meta-learners by developing complex algorithms in the training stage. However, the labeled samples are randomly selected during the testing stage, so they may not provide effective supervision signals, leading to misclassification. To address this issue, we propose a \textbf{L}abel-guided \textbf{D}istance \textbf{S}caling (LDS) strategy. The core of our method is exploiting label semantics as supervision signals in both the training and testing stages. Specifically, in the training stage, we design a label-guided loss to inject label semantic information, pulling closer the sample representations and corresponding label representations. In the testing stage, we propose a Label-guided Scaler which scales sample representations with label semantics to provide additional supervision signals. Thus, even if labeled sample representations are far from class centers, our Label-guided Scaler pulls them closer to their class centers, thereby mitigating the misclassification. We combine two common meta-learners to verify the effectiveness of the method. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art models.

Towards Reliable Negative Sampling for Recommendation with Implicit Feedback via In-Community Popularity

24 February 2026 at 13:00
arXiv:2602.18759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning from implicit feedback is a fundamental problem in modern recommender systems, where only positive interactions are observed and explicit negative signals are unavailable. In such settings, negative sampling plays a critical role in model training by constructing negative items that enable effective preference learning and ranking optimization. However, designing reliable negative sampling strategies remains challenging, as they must simultaneously ensure realness, hardness, and interpretability. To this end, we propose \textbf{ICPNS (In-Community Popularity Negative Sampling)}, a novel framework that leverages user community structure to identify reliable and informative negative samples. Our approach is grounded in the insight that item exposure is driven by latent user communities. By identifying these communities and utilizing in-community popularity, ICPNS effectively approximates the probability of item exposure. Consequently, items that are popular within a user's community but remain unclicked are identified as more reliable true negatives. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that ICPNS yields consistent improvements on graph-based recommenders and competitive performance on MF-based models, outperforming representative negative sampling strategies under a unified evaluation protocol.

Adaptive Runge-Kutta Dynamics for Spatiotemporal Prediction

24 February 2026 at 13:00
arXiv:2405.14504v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Spatiotemporal prediction is important in solving natural problems and processing video frames, especially in weather forecasting and human action recognition. Recent advances attempt to incorporate prior physical knowledge into the deep learning framework to estimate the unknown governing partial differential equations (PDEs) in complex dynamics, which have shown promising results in spatiotemporal prediction tasks. However, previous approaches only restrict neural network architectures or loss functions to acquire physical or PDE features, which decreases the representative capacity of a neural network. Meanwhile, the updating process of the physical state cannot be effectively estimated. To solve the problems mentioned above, we introduce a physical-guided neural network, which utilizes an adaptive second-order Runge-Kutta method with physical constraints to model the physical states more precisely. Furthermore, we propose a frequency-enhanced Fourier module to strengthen the model's ability to estimate the spatiotemporal dynamics. We evaluate our model on both spatiotemporal and video prediction tasks. The experimental results show that our model outperforms several state-of-the-art methods and performs the best in several spatiotemporal scenarios with a much smaller parameter count.
