GAIA: A Data Flywheel System for Training GUI Test-Time Scaling Critic Models

While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have significantly advanced GUI agents' capabilities in parsing textual instructions, interpreting screen content, and executing tasks, a critical challenge persists: the irreversibility of agent operations-where a single erroneous action can trigger catastrophic deviations. To address this, we propose the \textbf{G}UI \textbf{A}ction Cr\textbf{i}tic's Dat\textbf{a} Flywheel System (GAIA), a training framework that enables the models to have iterative critic capabilities, which are used to improve the Test-Time Scaling (TTS) of basic GUI agents' performance. Specifically, we train an \textbf{Intuitive Critic Model} (ICM) using positive and negative action examples from a base agent first. This critic evaluates the immediate correctness of the agent's intended actions, thereby selecting operations with higher success probability. Then, the initial critic guides agent actions to collect refined positive/negative samples, initiating the self-improving cycle. The augmented data then trains a second-round critic with enhanced discernment capability. We conduct experiments on various datasets and demonstrate that the proposed ICM can improve the test-time performance of various closed-source and open-source models, and the performance can be gradually improved as the data is recycled. The code, dataset, and accompanying datasheet will be publicly released at https://github.com/SeerRay-Lab/GAIA.

SimRPD: Optimizing Recruitment Proactive Dialogue Agents through Simulator-Based Data Evaluation and Selection

Task-oriented proactive dialogue agents play a pivotal role in recruitment, particularly for steering conversations towards specific business outcomes, such as acquiring social-media contacts for private-channel conversion. Although supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning have proven effective for training such agents, their performance is heavily constrained by the scarcity of high-quality, goal-oriented domain-specific training data. To address this challenge, we propose SimRPD, a three-stage framework for training recruitment proactive dialogue agents. First, we develop a high-fidelity user simulator to synthesize large-scale conversational data through multi-turn online dialogue. Then we introduce a multi-dimensional evaluation framework based on Chain-of-Intention (CoI) to comprehensively assess the simulator and effectively select high-quality data, incorporating both global-level and instance-level metrics. Finally, we train the recruitment proactive dialogue agent on the selected dataset. Experiments in a real-world recruitment scenario demonstrate that SimRPD outperforms existing simulator-based data selection strategies, highlighting its practical value for industrial deployment and its potential applicability to other business-oriented dialogue scenarios.

InqEduAgent: Adaptive AI Learning Partners with Gaussian Process Augmentation

Collaborative partnerships play a crucial role in inquiry-oriented education. However, most learning partners are currently assigned through experience-driven heuristics or rule-based machine assistants, which often result in limited knowledge expansion and low adaptability. To address these challenges, this study introduces InqEduAgent, an LLM-empowered generative agent framework designed to simulate and select adaptive learning partners for inquiry-based learning. InqEduAgent integrates a Gaussian process-augmented matching mechanism to model the cognitive and evaluative characteristics of learners, allowing adaptive partner selection based on prior knowledge patterns. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that InqEduAgent consistently achieves superior performance across diverse learning scenarios and large language model configurations. This study advances human-AI collaborative learning by enabling intelligent pairing between human- and AI-based learning partners, and contributes to adaptive user modeling and personalized recommendation within Web-based educational environments.
