While recent advancements like the Poincaré ResNet have demonstrated the potential of learning visual representations directly in hyperbolic space, their optimisation remains hampered by the computationally intensive nature of Riemannian gradients and the strict boundaries of the manifold. Furthermore, standard hyperbolic networks treat spatial transformations of the same object as distinct hierarchical concepts, leading to redundant parameter usage and vanishing signals.
Controlling the Lipschitz constant of a neural network is a standard way to promote robustness and stability. Most existing constraining strategies are designed for Euclidean spaces.
The paper introduces a Nested Inductive Bias framework that uses a two‑stage diffeomorphic composition to pull back non‑Euclidean target geometries onto symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifolds. This approach allows the construction of curvature‑aligned Riemannian classifiers that respect both matrix constraints and the intrinsic relational geometry of data. Empirical results on kinematic, signal processing, and synthetic benchmarks show that class separability degrades when metric curvature does not match the data distribution, and the authors also propose the Rational Conformal Metric (RCM) for robust vectorized architectures.
