一句话：发布约16万个 Android 应用 UI 模型的最大开放数据集与开源分析工具。
论文介绍 Frontmatter，一个面向移动用户界面的大规模开放数据集与分析工具。它包含约16万个 Android 应用的 UI 模型，旨在支持对移动 UI 的广泛经验研究，回答如多少旅行应用要求注册、哪些应用不符合无障碍指南、UI 是否与描述一致等问题。作者通过大规模挖掘构建数据集，并提供开源 UI 分析工具，使研究者能在更大规模上开展实证研究。Frontmatter 数据集和工具均以开源许可发布，为移动 UI 的自动化分析、无障碍检查与描述一致性研究提供基础设施。
We introduce Frontmatter: the largest open-access dataset containing user interface models of about 160,000 Android apps. Frontmatter opens the door for comprehensive mining of mobile user interfaces, jumpstarting empirical research at a large scale, addressing questions such as "How many travel apps require registration?", "Which apps do not follow accessibility guidelines?", "Does the user interface correspond to the description?", and many more. The Frontmatter UI analysis tool and the Frontmatter dataset are available under an open-source license.
