The paper introduces Hyper^2, a dual‑space consistency framework that applies hyperbolic geometry consistently to both the loss and the encoder in point‑cloud completion tasks. By reusing the same arcosh(1+αd²) function as a positional bias in refinement attention and as the Chamfer loss, Hyper^2 achieves significant Chamfer error reductions—up to 22.9% on ShapeNet‑55 and 37.5% on unseen ShapeNet‑34—while adding only ~1.6% FLOPs. The authors demonstrate that geometric consistency across encoder and loss, rather than either component alone, is key to effective hyperbolic supervision, supported by two model‑agnostic indicators that peak only when both are hyperbolic.
