Researchers have investigated the practical degree of hyperbolicity in hyperbolic vision-language models (VLMs). Their findings indicate that for models like MERU, HyCoCLIP, ARGENT, and PHyCLIP, the exponential map, which introduces curvature, can be closely approximated by the identity function. This suggests that pairwise distances and angles in the pre-map Euclidean space remain largely unchanged after projection, and removing the exponential map during inference does not significantly impact evaluation scores. Consequently, Euclidean VLMs trained from scratch with similar hierarchical losses achieved comparable evaluation scores and radial distributions, suggesting that Euclidean space is currently sufficient for hierarchical vision-language learning.
