JALTCALL Robert Hirschel Interview at SUTLF 2025

渇いた心で駆け抜ける
ごめんね何もできなくて
痛みを分かち合うことさえ
あなたは許してくれない
無垢に生きるため振り向かず
背中向けて 去ってしまう
On the lonely rail
私ついていくよ
どんな辛い世界の闇の中でさえ
きっとあなたは輝いて
超える未来の果て
弱さ故に魂こわされぬように
My way 重なるよ
いまふたりに God bless
届けて熱くなる想いは
現実溶かしてさまよう
会いたい気持ちに理由はない
あなたへあふれだす lovin' you
せめて美しい夢だけを
描きながら 追いかけよう
For your lonely heart
やめて嘘はあなたらしくないよ
目を見てこれからのことを話そう
私 覚悟してる
暗い未来だって
強くなって運命変えられるかもね
My wish かなえたいのに
すべては God knows
あなたがいて (あなたがいて) 私がいて
ほかの人は消えてしまった
淡い夢の (淡い夢の) 美しさを描きながら
傷跡なぞる
だから私ついていくよ
どんな辛い世界の闇の中でさえ
きっとあなたは輝いて
超える未来の果て
弱さ故に魂こわされぬように
My way 重なるよ
いまふたりに God bless

It includes talks with people during the coffee break at the end of the poster session and continues to the Saturday evening dinner reception, where everyone got a chance to network with new and old acquaintances while enjoying plenty of delicious food and some light beverages.

This year we had 15 workshops, 26 poster presentations, 129 regular presentations, 2 forums, and 2 keynote speakers. With 286 participants the conference was a very good success, and we thank everyone for coming and sharing their great ideas with the community.

August 2025 Studio Talk Conference Favourites with Brian, Geoff, Robert R, and Luc

In this episode Brian Gallagher interviews Gordon Wilson, Associate Professor at HanNan University in Osaka. Gordon is an amazing advocate for Artificial Intelligence research, and he presented a workshop at JALTCALL 2025 conference on exactly this entitled "Building Our Replacements: An AI-Driven, Personalized, Anytime, Anywhere Language Teaching Expert System" 
He talks about inspiration, inclusion, creation, analysis, interaction, knowledge boards, scarcities, and personalization, as well as development and digital companions.
His outlook on AI is incredibly positive and in stark contrast to more cautionary and conservative speakers we may have heard in recent times. His positivity is something that we all need a good dose of to counter the worry that many people have about AI, and he explains well the opportunities that we can have if we can be open to more ideas. In this recording he demonstrates how to harness the benefits of AI as a companion to our lives as an assistive technology with a live walkthrough of interactions with an artificial intelligence that he has been developing through oral conversation. A first for our podcast.
Enjoy the show.
