ValueError: zero-size array to reduction operation maximum which has no identity

[dwissaaj]

I try a simple list like this

test = ["I want to test Bertopic",
        "When I use it I got an error"]
bertopic = BERTopic().fit_transform(test)

But I got an error with

ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
[<ipython-input-53-ea2ec26cbbeb>](https://localhost:8080/#) in <module>

I use huggingface for model embedding. Any clue Why this happen?
