Autonomous agents capable of navigating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) hold the potential to revolutionize digital productivity. However, achieving true digital autonomy extends beyond reactive element matching; it necessitates a predictive mental model of interface dynamics and the ability to foresee the "digital world state" resulting from interactions. Despite the perceptual capabilities of modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs), existing benchmarks remain bifurcated (focusing either on black-box task completion or static, shallow grounding), thereby failing to assess whether agents truly comprehend the implicit functionality and transition logic of GUIs. To bridge this gap, we introduce AutoGUI-v2, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate deep GUI functionality understanding and interaction outcome prediction. We construct the benchmark using a novel VLM-human collaborative pipeline that recursively parses multi-platform screenshots into hierarchical functional regions to generate diverse evaluation tasks. Providing 2,753 tasks across six operating systems, AutoGUI-v2 rigorously tests agents on region and element-level semantics, grounding, and dynamic state prediction. Our evaluation reveals a striking dichotomy in VLMs: while open-source models fine-tuned on agent data (e.g., Qwen3-VL) excel at functional grounding, commercial models (e.g., Gemini-2.5-Pro-Thinking) dominate in functionality captioning. Crucially, all models struggle with complex interaction logic of uncommon actions, highlighting that deep functional understanding remains a significant hurdle. By systematically measuring these foundational capabilities, AutoGUI-v2 offers a new lens for advancing the next generation of GUI agents.

Realistic 3D indoor scene generation is crucial for virtual reality, interior design, embodied intelligence, and scene understanding. While existing methods have made progress in coarse-scale furniture arrangement, they struggle to capture fine-grained object placements, limiting the realism and utility of generated environments. This gap hinders immersive virtual experiences and detailed scene comprehension for embodied AI applications. To address these issues, we propose Hierarchical Layout Generation (HLG), a novel method for fine-grained 3D scene generation. HLG is the first to adopt a coarse-to-fine hierarchical approach, refining scene layouts from large-scale furniture placement to intricate object arrangements. Specifically, our fine-grained layout alignment module constructs a hierarchical layout through vertical and horizontal decoupling, effectively decomposing complex 3D indoor scenes into multiple levels of granularity. Additionally, our trainable layout optimization network addresses placement issues, such as incorrect positioning, orientation errors, and object intersections, ensuring structurally coherent and physically plausible scene generation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through extensive experiments, showing superior performance in generating realistic indoor scenes compared to existing methods. This work advances the field of scene generation and opens new possibilities for applications requiring detailed 3D environments. We will release our code upon publication to encourage future research.

Localizing root causes for multi-dimensional data is critical to ensure online service systems' reliability. When a fault occurs, only the measure values within specific attribute combinations are abnormal. Such attribute combinations are substantial clues to the underlying root causes and thus are called root causes of multidimensional data. This paper proposes a generic and robust root cause localization approach for multi-dimensional data, PSqueeze. We propose a generic property of root cause for multi-dimensional data, generalized ripple effect (GRE). Based on it, we propose a novel probabilistic cluster method and a robust heuristic search method. Moreover, we identify the importance of determining external root causes and propose an effective method for the first time in literature. Our experiments on two real-world datasets with 5400 faults show that the F1-score of PSqueeze outperforms baselines by 32.89%, while the localization time is around 10 seconds across all cases. The F1-score in determining external root causes of PSqueeze achieves 0.90. Furthermore, case studies in several production systems demonstrate that PSqueeze is helpful to fault diagnosis in the real world.
