Learning from Failure: Inference-Time Self-Improvement for Computer-Use Agents

Xueqiao Sun, Xiaohan Wang, Ludwig Schmidt, Serena Yeung-Levy, Yuhui Zhang

Computer-use agents, which leverage multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to operate computers and complete tasks, have attracted significant attention for their utility and versatility. A major challenge in developing these agents is collecting large-scale, high-quality traje…

Beyond expert users: agents should help users construct preferences, not just elicit them

Irena Saracay, Ludwig Schmidt, Carlos Guestrin

Agents typically assume an expert user -- one with well-formed preferences about what they want -- and default to clarifying questions whenever the task is underspecified. We argue this assumption is unrealistic. Users often lack the domain knowledge to have completely specified…

DataComp-VLM: Improved Open Datasets for Vision-Language Models

Matteo Farina, Vishaal Udandarao, Thao Nguyen, Selim Kuzucu, Maximilian Böther, Andreas Hochlehnert, et al.

Building performant Vision-Language Models (VLMs) requires carefully curating large-scale training datasets, yet the community lacks systematic benchmarks for evaluating such curation strategies. We introduce DataComp for VLMs (DCVLM), a benchmark for controlled data-centric expe…
