This article presumes the premise that "what you love"/"your passion" is the same as "what you can love"/the set of all "passions" you have not yet discovered. This is untrue. Especially f

Your work with ML and images sounds incredible! Do you have a link (e.g. on arxiv or elsewhere) that describes your approach using ML for image reconstruction in greater detail? How would you recommend building up one's combined intui

This project sounds very interesting! I'd also love to hear more about any details you make available. Thanks for the reference to the wavelet transform--it is nice to consider a concrete context where this operation can be employed.
