When Recovery Matters: The Blind Spot of Surrogate Privacy in MLLM Editing
Researchers have introduced SPPE, a new benchmark for evaluating privacy-preserving image editing in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). This benchmark addresses the issue where standard privacy methods often result in edited surrogate images rather than the desired edited source images. SPPE includes tasks for assessing editability before cloud interaction and for recovering the edited source image from the surrogate, along with novel methods ERMA and C2E-S2SER to tackle these challenges.
