# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Logs

• Participants discussed developing a knowledge management system for the #hplusroadmap IRC logs, with kanzure manually reviewing content to determine how to process data using "signal-noise scores, tags, tag weights, and hyperlink anchors" to make valuable but obscure information more discoverable.

• Two competing approaches to content tagging were debated: kanzure proposed a numerical weighting system (e.g., "neuroscience-0.01" for relevance), while nsh advocated for a more intuitive visual interface "a bit like guitar hero" with star-based weighting and variable scrolling speed to indicate information density.

• The group discussed using machine learning for classification, with fenn noting that "tags and tag scoring is useful for training your machine learning classifier that does the actual bulk of the work" for processing the IRC logs.

• A link to Anders Sandberg's talk was shared (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-BUNT-gntY), likely related to transhumanist topics given the channel's focus.

• Cyberdyne's financial results were shared (http://www.cyberdyne.jp/company/download/20151113_financialresultssummary1.pdf), relevant to their exoskeleton or robotics technology which aligns with transhumanist interests.

• The group noted a significant gap in open scientific resources when discussing chemical reaction databases, with kanzure explaining that comprehensive databases are private and public organic reaction mechanism databases are "really really super tiny in comparison."
