Description

After updating BERTopic to the latest version, I encountered an error whenever I tried running the get_topic_info command. In the previous version (0.13), this command worked without any issues. The specific error message I received was:

AttributeError: 'BERTopic' object has no attribute 'topic_aspects_'

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in get_topic_info with the latest BERTopic version and compare it with version 0.13, focusing on the missing topic_aspects_ attribute. The issue is resolved when get_topic_info runs without this AttributeError and its behavior is consistent across the relevant versions.
