Evaluate GT-guided auditing for residual geolocation clues

Investigate the additional protection benefit and processing overhead of performing a final ground-truth-guided audit after GeoCloak terminates in standard mode.

Background

GeoCloak’s stopping rule depends on the visual reasoning capability of ClueAgent. The paper notes that a final ground-truth-guided audit could be conducted after standard-mode termination to search for residual location-revealing clues that the initial process failed to identify. However, the paper does not evaluate whether this audit would materially improve protection or how much additional computational processing it would require.

References

A final GT-guided audit after standard-mode termination could provide an additional check for residual clues, although it would still depend on ClueAgent's ability to identify them. Its additional protection benefit and processing overhead remain to be evaluated.
