    Moving Beyond Sparse Grounding with Complete Screen Parsing Supervision for ICML 2026 - IBM Research ## Abstract Modern computer-use agents (CUA) must perceive a screen as a structured state, what elements are visible, where they are, and what text they contain, before they can reliably ground instructions and act. Yet, most available grounding datasets provide sparse supervision, with…
