All machine learning is just renormalization which in turn is a convolution in Hopf algebra. That's why you see superposition "In physics, wherever there is a linear system with a "superposition principle", a convolution operation makes an appearance." I'm working this out in more details but it is uncanny how much it works out. I have a discord if you want to discuss this further https://discord.cofunctional.ai

Do you mean all ML or just large neural networks? Where is renormalization in a tree model? What superposition are you referring to?

Renormalization is all about this symmetric partitioning.

I suppose we should be cautious, the human mind is capable of overfitting too
