Researchers have introduced HAC, a novel framework that adapts pre-trained CLIP models to hyperbolic geometry for improved zero-shot Visual Question Answering (VQA). This parameter-efficient approach allows existing CLIP models to transition to hyperbolic space through minimal fine-tuning, avoiding the need for training from scratch. HAC demonstrated superior performance across various VQA benchmarks, including reasoning-intensive tasks, by achieving up to a 1.9-point improvement over standard CLIP models. AI
