# Summary of ##hplusroadmap IRC Log (May 22, 2016)

* A paper on "A Probabilistic Rich Type Theory for Semantic Interpretation" was shared (https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W/W14/W14-1409.pdf), relevant to computational linguistics and semantic interpretation.

* A new participant working on a medical image segmentation startup joined the channel, prompting discussion about various medical imaging technologies including multi-spectral CT and PET-CT scanning.

* Participants discussed the Mars Bioimaging technology (http://www.marsbioimaging.com/mars/) which uses spectral CT for advanced medical imaging applications.

* A discussion about DIY DNA synthesis technology took place, with mention that some hardware/design problems with inkjet DNA synthesizers had been resolved using micropipettes for better sample heating and cooling.

* The channel referenced documentation on DIY DNA synthesis available at http://diyhpl.us/wiki/dna/synthesis/notes/.

* A brief conversation about anti-aging supplements occurred, though it appeared to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek with references to "aging agonists" and stimulants as "aging supplements."
