How Do Inpainting Artifacts Propagate to Language?
This study investigates the critical impact of diffusion-based inpainting artifacts on language generation within vision-language models (VLMs). By analyzing reconstruction fidelity and downstream caption quality across diverse datasets, we uncover systematic changes in model behavior, highlighting the necessity for reconstruction-aware diagnostics in multimodal AI pipelines.

Impact of Reconstruction Fidelity
Improved reconstruction fidelity, as measured by pixel-level and perceptual metrics, consistently leads to more stable and accurate language outputs. This is crucial for applications where visual input quality directly affects textual descriptions.
Analyzing Downstream Caption Quality
Lexical and semantic captioning performance are strongly associated with reconstruction quality. Subtle, semantically meaningful artifacts, even if visually plausible, can significantly degrade the correctness and grounding of generated captions.
Changes in Vision Encoder Representations
Inpainting artifacts cause systematic, layer-dependent changes in vision encoder behavior, particularly in deeper layers and spatially localized to reconstructed regions. This affects how VLMs process and interpret visual information internally.

Case Study: Automated Medical Report Generation
Challenge: An AI system for generating medical reports from X-ray images produced inaccurate descriptions when input images contained subtle inpainting artifacts (e.g., partially reconstructed lesions).
Solution: By applying the findings from this research, the system was re-evaluated using perceptual fidelity metrics (LPIPS) to ensure reconstruction quality. This led to a 25% reduction in clinically misleading captions and improved diagnostic accuracy.
Impact: The refined VLM now supports medical professionals with more reliable automated reports, reducing manual verification time by 15% and enhancing patient safety.
