用重整化群方法构建分层最大熵模型，统一多层级系统建模。

Hierarchical structures, which include multiple levels, are prevalent in statistical and machine-learning models as well as physical systems. Extending the foundational result that the maximum entropy distribution under mean constraints is given by the exponential Gibbs-Boltzmann form, we introduce the framework of "hierarchical maximum entropy" to address these multilevel models. We demonstrate that Pareto optimal distributions, which maximize entropies across all levels of hierarchical transformations, can be obtained via renormalization-group procedures from theoretical physics. This is achieved by formulating multilevel extensions of the Gibbs variational principle and the Donsker-Varadhan variational representation of entropy. Moreover, we explore settings with hierarchical invariances that significantly simplify the renormalization-group procedures, enhancing computational efficiency: quadratic modular loss functions, logarithmic loss functions, and nearest-neighbor loss functions. This is accomplished through the introduction of the concept of parameter flows, which serves as an analog to renormalization flows in renormalization group theory. This work connects ideas from probability theory, information theory, and statistical mechanics.
