Description

Hello,

When I use:topic_model.reduce_outliers(topic_model, docs, topics, probabilities=probs,
threshold=0.05, strategy="probabilities")

I met the following bugs May I ask how to solve this ?, it looks like there is an attempt to call embed_images on an object of type SentenceTransformerBackend.:

outlier_embeddings = self.embedding_model.embed_images(outlier_images, verbose=self.verbose)

AttributeError: 'SentenceTransformerBackend' object has no attribute 'embed_images'

Thank you

Research direction

Run the shown topic_model.reduce_outliers call with strategy="probabilities" and trace the path to the reported embed_images call. Compare the SentenceTransformerBackend interface with that path; done means the probabilities strategy completes without the AttributeError.
