Over a complete Riemannian manifold of finite dimension, Greene and Wu introduced a convolution, known as Greene-Wu (GW) convolution. In this paper, we study properties of the GW convolution and apply it to non-Euclidean machine learning problems. In particular, we derive a new formula for how the curvature of the space would affect the curvature of the function through the GW convolution. Also, following the study of the GW convolution, a new method for gradient estimation over Riemannian manifolds is introduced.
