Self-Generated Error Training for Token Editing in Diffusion Language Models

2026-06-17

Summary

To solve the problem of training-inference data inconsistency that occurs during the token editing process of a diffusion model-based language model, we propose a technique in which the model generates errors and trains itself.

Key Points

During token-to-token (T2T) editing in LLaDA2.1, we identified mismatch issues between training data and the actual error types that occur during inference.
Proposal of a self-generated T2T technique in which the model generates errors on its own and learns supervised learning to recover from them.
Additional training with LoRA on LLaDA2.1-mini improves accuracy and reduces editing intensity, alleviating unnecessary self-correction issues.

Why AI-created UI is somehow awkward — coherence

2026-06-17

Summary

To resolve the awkwardness of AI-generated UI, we introduce a method to maintain design coherence and StyleSeed, a tool to help with this.

Key Points

The root cause of the awkward UI created by AI is the lack of harmony, or coherence, between parts rather than individual components.
The solution is to set single values for design axes such as edges, accents, spacing, shadows, etc. and enforce them strictly.
StyleSeed does not force a specific design, but provides a judgment standard of ‘in this case, this way’, so it can be easily applied on top of the existing design system.

2026-06-17

Summary

An article in which the CEO of BHSN emphasized that companies should avoid show-based technology verification (PoC) when introducing AI and should achieve practical results by integrating in-house data and establishing clear judgment standards.

Key Points

PoC that relies on LLM performance is unlikely to lead to improvement in the company's KPI or actual productivity increase.
Data fragmentation, lack of judgment standards, and disconnection between existing business systems were pointed out as obstacles to AI introduction.
BHSN supports practical work automation and process improvement through AI legal services that integrate data, judgment standards, and systems.
