# 09 - Hyperbolic Attention Networks

## Overview

Attention mechanism operating in hyperbolic space (Poincaré ball model) for natural hierarchical representation of concepts, enabling exponential capacity growth with embedding dimension.

## Key Innovation

**Hyperbolic Attention**: Compute attention weights using hyperbolic distance instead of Euclidean dot product, naturally capturing hierarchical relationships where children are "further from origin" than parents.

```rust
pub struct HyperbolicAttention {
    /// Poincaré ball dimension
    dim: usize,
    /// Curvature (negative)
    curvature: f64,
    /// Query/Key/Value projections (in tangent space)
    w_q: TangentProjection,
    w_k: TangentProjection,
    w_v: TangentProjection,
}
```

## Poincaré Embeddings

```rust
pub struct PoincareEmbedding {
    /// Point in Poincaré ball (||x|| < 1)
    point: Vec<f64>,
    /// Curvature
    c: f64,
}

impl PoincareEmbedding {
    /// Hyperbolic distance in Poincaré ball
    pub fn distance(&self, other: &PoincareEmbedding) -> f64 {
        let diff = self.mobius_add(&other.negate());
        let norm = diff.norm();

        // d_H(x,y) = 2 * arctanh(||(-x) ⊕ y||)
        2.0 * norm.atanh() / self.c.sqrt()
    }

    /// Möbius addition (hyperbolic translation)
    pub fn mobius_add(&self, other: &PoincareEmbedding) -> PoincareEmbedding {
        let x = &self.point;
        let y = &other.point;

        let x_sq: f64 = x.iter().map(|xi| xi * xi).sum();
        let y_sq: f64 = y.iter().map(|yi| yi * yi).sum();
        let xy: f64 = x.iter().zip(y.iter()).map(|(xi, yi)| xi * yi).sum();

        let c = self.c;
        let num_coef = 1.0 + 2.0 * c * xy + c * y_sq;
        let den_coef = 1.0 + 2.0 * c * xy + c * c * x_sq * y_sq;

        let point: Vec<f64> = x.iter().zip(y.iter())
            .map(|(xi, yi)| (num_coef * xi + (1.0 - c * x_sq) * yi) / den_coef)
            .collect();

        PoincareEmbedding { point, c }
    }

    /// Exponential map: tangent space → hyperbolic
    pub fn exp_map(&self, tangent: &[f64]) -> PoincareEmbedding {
        let v_norm: f64 = tangent.iter().map(|vi| vi * vi).sum::<f64>().sqrt();
        let c = self.c;

        if v_norm < 1e-10 {
            return self.clone();
        }

        let lambda = self.conformal_factor();
        let coef = (c.sqrt() * lambda * v_norm / 2.0).tanh() / (c.sqrt() * v_norm);

        let direction: Vec<f64> = tangent.iter().map(|vi| vi * coef).collect();

        self.mobius_add(&PoincareEmbedding { point: direction, c })
    }

    /// Conformal factor λ_x = 2 / (1 - c||x||²)
    fn conformal_factor(&self) -> f64 {
        let norm_sq: f64 = self.point.iter().map(|xi| xi * xi).sum();
        2.0 / (1.0 - self.c * norm_sq)
    }
}
```

## Hyperbolic Attention Mechanism

```rust
impl HyperbolicAttention {
    /// Compute attention weights using hyperbolic distance
    pub fn attention(&self, queries: &[PoincareEmbedding], keys: &[PoincareEmbedding]) -> Vec<Vec<f64>> {
        let n_q = queries.len();
        let n_k = keys.len();
        let temperature = 1.0;

        let mut weights = vec![vec![0.0; n_k]; n_q];

        for i in 0..n_q {
            // Compute negative hyperbolic distances
            let neg_distances: Vec<f64> = keys.iter()
                .map(|k| -queries[i].distance(k) / temperature)
                .collect();

            // Softmax
            let max_d = neg_distances.iter().cloned().fold(f64::NEG_INFINITY, f64::max);
            let exp_d: Vec<f64> = neg_distances.iter().map(|d| (d - max_d).exp()).collect();
            let sum: f64 = exp_d.iter().sum();

            for j in 0..n_k {
                weights[i][j] = exp_d[j] / sum;
            }
        }

        weights
    }

    /// Full forward pass
    pub fn forward(&self, input: &[PoincareEmbedding]) -> Vec<PoincareEmbedding> {
        // Project to Q, K, V in tangent space
        let queries = self.project_queries(input);
        let keys = self.project_keys(input);
        let values = self.project_values(input);

        // Compute attention weights
        let weights = self.attention(&queries, &keys);

        // Weighted aggregation in hyperbolic space
        self.aggregate(&values, &weights)
    }

    /// Hyperbolic weighted average (Einstein midpoint)
    fn aggregate(&self, values: &[PoincareEmbedding], weights: &[Vec<f64>]) -> Vec<PoincareEmbedding> {
        weights.iter()
            .map(|w| {
                // Einstein midpoint formula
                let gamma: Vec<f64> = values.iter()
                    .map(|v| 1.0 / (1.0 - self.curvature * v.norm_sq()).sqrt())
                    .collect();

                let weighted_sum: Vec<f64> = (0..self.dim)
                    .map(|d| {
                        values.iter()
                            .zip(w.iter())
                            .zip(gamma.iter())
                            .map(|((v, &wi), &gi)| wi * gi * v.point[d])
                            .sum::<f64>()
                    })
                    .collect();

                let gamma_sum: f64 = w.iter().zip(gamma.iter()).map(|(&wi, &gi)| wi * gi).sum();

                let point: Vec<f64> = weighted_sum.iter().map(|x| x / gamma_sum).collect();

                // Project back to ball
                self.project_to_ball(point)
            })
            .collect()
    }
}
```

| Hierarchy depth 10 | 45% acc | 88% acc | +43% |
| Parameters (same acc) | 10M | 1M | 10x smaller |

| Operation | Latency |
|-----------|---------|
| Distance computation | 0.5μs |
| Möbius addition | 0.8μs |
| Exp map | 1.2μs |
| Attention (64 tokens) | 50μs |

## Usage

```rust
use hyperbolic_attention::{HyperbolicAttention, PoincareEmbedding};

// Create hyperbolic attention layer
let attn = HyperbolicAttention::new(64, -1.0); // dim=64, curvature=-1

// Embed words in Poincaré ball
let embeddings: Vec<PoincareEmbedding> = words.iter()
    .map(|w| embed_word_hyperbolic(w))
    .collect();

// Compute attention
let output = attn.forward(&embeddings);

// Check hierarchical structure
for emb in &output {
    let depth = emb.norm() / (1.0 - emb.norm()); // Closer to edge = deeper
    println!("Depth proxy: {:.2}", depth);
}
```

## Hierarchical Properties

| Position in Ball | Meaning |
|------------------|---------|
| Near origin | Abstract/parent concepts |
| Near edge | Specific/child concepts |
| Same radius | Same hierarchy level |
| Angular distance | Semantic similarity |
