Image inpainting research highlights reward model biases

Researchers have re-examined preference alignment for image inpainting, utilizing the Direct Preference Optimization framework with publicly available reward models. Their study revealed that while most reward models offer valid signals, some exhibit biases in brightness, composition, and color, leading to reward hacking. An ensemble of these reward models effectively mitigates these biases, resulting in improved performance on standard metrics and human assessments, even showing transferability to object removal tasks.
