SAVIER: Source-Anchored Visual Inspection and Evidence-Guided Repair for Vietnamese Cultural Text-to-Image Generation
Gia-Huy Thai, Duc-Tien Khong, Trung-Nghia Le
Abstract
We present SAVIER, a training-free, one-pass framework that repairs the depiction of a named Vietnamese cultural entity in a generated image while preserving the scene details requested by the user. The problem is hard because a plausible scene can miss the cues that identify the entity, and prompt-level refinement never inspects the image it produces. SAVIER starts from a Culture-TRIP expanded prompt; a Curator separates source-linked cultural cues from prompt-preservation requirements, a prompt-blind Observer describes the first image, and a Refiner turns the discrepancies into at most three positive instructions before one regeneration with the same seed and a fixed bank of reference photographs. On the 50 bilingual prompts of ViCuP, evaluated with SDXL and FLUX.1-dev against a frozen, human-verified visual contract, SAVIER raises contract fulfillment from 55.6 to 69.6 and from 59.1 to 67.3 over Culture-TRIP and raises CAIRE cultural relevance on FLUX.1-dev. A reference-only ablation that removes the agent repair shows that SAVIER's photographs account for most of the contract gain; the agent roles add country-level relevance on FLUX.1-dev without lowering adherence to the original prompt under the official VQAScore.
