I believe that current type checks in
bertopic/cluster/_utils.py
forcuml
+hdbscan
clusterers are incorrect.Since the "cuml" string is always evaluating to True (see lines 22, 34, and 45 in
bertopic/cluster/_utils.py
), any subclass of HDBSCAN is triggering thecuml
import, raising anImportError
when not installed. Even if installed, callingcuml_hdbscan
module may not be adequate for all HDBSCAN subclasses.I'm opening this PR with a simple solution proposal, but feel free to find another way to fix this issue.
