I'm not a scientist either so it's an area I don't totally understand. This presentation (associated video) contains examples, it's one of the sessions from a summer school put on by the US's National Radio Astronomy Observatory (who run the Very Large Array in New Mexico and are a partner in ALMA).
The sessions are definitely worth watching if it's something you're interested in, though I will note that it is easy to get lost VERY quickly if you don't have a background in higher mathematics, physics, and science. The fundamentals ones by Rick Perley (one, two, three) are a nice "soft" intro to how interferometry works, he starts very simply and builds up by adding complexity along the way.
Literature-wise, Thompson/Moran/Swenson is the interferometry bible. There are probably other books or articles that cover error recognition specifically, but it's all built on the fundamentals of how deconvolution works.
As well as the above book I used Burke & Smith as my introduction to RA, then used Interferometry and Synthesis a lot later on
