A 4-month Gabor image representation project turned into a dozen ML experiments

A four-month machine learning project asks whether a Gabor Image Representation can be learned.
The author says the work started as a simple question in May and expanded into:
- a deep dive into ML approaches,
- a dozen experiments,
- four dead ends,
- and several side quests.
The post links to the first documentation installment of the Gabor Synthesis project, framing it as an exploratory research effort rather than a polished product announcement.
