April 9 - Visual AI Agents Workshop

Join us on April 9 at 9 AM Pacific for the Visual Agents: What it Takes to Build an Agent that can Navigate GUIs like Humans virtual workshop.

Register for the Zoom

This hands-on workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to building and evaluating visual agents for GUI automation using modern tools and techniques. Participants will learn how to leverage FiftyOne, an open-source toolkit for dataset curation and computer vision workflows, to build production-ready GUI agent systems.

What You'll Learn:

  • Dataset Creation & Management: How to structure, annotate, and load GUI interaction datasets using the COCO4GUI standardized format
  • Data Exploration & Analysis: Using FiftyOne's interactive interface to visualize datasets, analyze action distributions, and understand annotation patterns
  • Multimodal Embeddings: Computing embeddings for screenshots and UI element patches to enable similarity search and retrieval
  • Model Inference: Running state-of-the-art models like Microsoft's GUI-Actor to predict interaction points from natural language instructions
  • Performance Evaluation: Measuring model accuracy using standard metrics and normalized click distance to assess localization precision
  • Failure Analysis: Investigating model failures through attention maps, error pattern analysis, and systematic debugging workflows
  • Data-Driven Improvement: Tagging samples based on error types (attention misalignment vs. localization errors) to prioritize fine-tuning efforts
  • Synthetic Data Generation: Using FiftyOne plugins to augment training data with synthetic task descriptions and variations
