## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[SeeClick: Harnessing GUI Grounding for Advanced Visual GUI Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/cheng-2024-seeclick-harnessing-gui-grounding-advanced/)** *(2024 · 135 citations)* Most GUI agents for phones, desktops and websites operate on structured representations such as HTML, DOM or Android view hierarchies.
2. **[OS-ATLAS: A Foundation Action Model for Generalist GUI Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2024-os-atlas-foundation-action-model/)** *(2024 · 67 citations)* GUI agents that operate directly on screenshots usually depend on proprietary vision-language models such as GPT-4o.
3. **[OS-Genesis: Automating GUI Agent Trajectory Construction via Reverse Task Synthesis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sun-2025-os-genesis-automating-gui-agent/)** *(2025 · 48 citations)* Training GUI agents built on Vision-Language Models requires full interaction trajectories: an overall goal, step instructions, actions, and screen states.
4. **[Vision-Language Models Can Self-Improve Reasoning via Reflection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/cheng-2025-vision-language-models-can-self/)** *(2025 · 35 citations)* Open multimodal LLMs reason poorly with chain-of-thought (CoT), and annotated multimodal rationales are expensive to collect at scale.
5. **[Interactive Evolution: A Neural-Symbolic Self-Training Framework For Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2025-interactive-evolution-neural-symbolic-self/)** *(2025 · 15 citations)* Large language models increasingly solve tasks by writing symbolic intermediate forms, such as programs, logic forms, or web actions, which an external environment then executes.
6. **[Genius: A Generalizable and Purely Unsupervised Self-Training Framework For Advanced Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2025-genius-generalizable-purely-unsupervised-self/)** *(2025 · 8 citations)* Genius tackles the problem of improving LLM reasoning after pre-training without any external supervision.
7. **[OS-Sentinel: Towards Safety-Enhanced Mobile GUI Agents via Hybrid Validation in Realistic Workflows](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sun-2026-os-sentinel-safety-enhanced-mobile/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Mobile GUI agents built on Vision-Language Models can carry out tasks on phones, but they may also behave unsafely, for example by leaking private data, posting offensive content or tampering with the system.
