Check out the new article: Neural Networks in Trading: Hyperbolic Latent Diffusion Model (HypDiff).

The article considers methods of encoding initial data in hyperbolic latent space through anisotropic diffusion processes. This helps to more accurately preserve the topological characteristics of the current market situation and improves the quality of its analysis.

Hyperbolic geometric space has been widely recognized as an ideal continuous manifold for representing discrete tree-like or hierarchical structures and is employed in various graph learning tasks. The authors of the paper "Hyperbolic Geometric Latent Diffusion Model for Graph Generation" claim that hyperbolic geometry has great potential for addressing the issue of non-Euclidean structural anisotropy in latent diffusion processes for graphs. In hyperbolic space, the distribution of node embeddings tends to be globally isotropic. Meanwhilwe, anisotropy is preserved locally. Moreover, hyperbolic geometry unifies angular and radial measurements in polar coordinates, offering geometric dimensions with physical semantics and interpretability. Notably, hyperbolic geometry can furnish latent space with geometric priors that reflect the intrinsic structure of graphs.

Based on these insights, the authors aim to design a suitable latent space grounded in hyperbolic geometry to enable an efficient diffusion process over non-Euclidean structures for graph generation, preserving topological integrity. In doing so, they try to solve two core problems:

  1. The additive nature of continuous Gaussian distributions is undefined in hyperbolic latent space.
  2. Developing an effective anisotropic diffusion process tailored to non-Euclidean structures.
