Issues regarding the usage of the ProtBERT tokenizer on multi-fasta-files

[QuadratJunges]

While trying to tokenize sequences from a multi-fasta-list, the generated input using the prot-BERT tokenizer always generates the same numpy arrays, eventhough the initial sequences differ significantly. Anyone else ever faced such problems? Looking forward for some input.

With the submitted sequence list looking like this "['IISACLAGEKCRYTGDGFDYPALRKLVEEGKAIPVCPEVLGGLSVPRDPNEIIGGNGFDVLDGKAKVLTNRGVDTTAAFVKGAAEVLAIAQKKGARVAVLKERSPSCGSTMIYDGTFSGRRIPGCGCTAALLVKEGIRVFSEEN', 'RLLLIDGNSIAFRSFFALQNSLSRFTNADGLHTNAIYGFNKMLDIILDNVNPTDALVAFDAGKTTFRTKMYTNYKGGRAKTPSELTEQMPYLRDLLTGYGIKSYEL...]"

the output arrays look like this [array([[-0.09921601, 0.05850809, -0.0922595 , ..., -0.00792149,
-0.04542159, 0.07880748]], dtype=float32), array([[-0.09921601, 0.05850809, -0.0922595 , ..., -0.00792149,
-0.04542159, 0.07880748]], dtype=float32), array([[-0.09921601, 0.05850809, -0.0922595 , ..., -0.00792149,
-0.04542159, 0.07880748]], dtype=float32), array([[-0.09921601, 0.05850809, -0.0922595 , ..., -0.00792149,
-0.04542159, 0.07880748]], dtype=float32), array([[-0.09921601, 0.05850809, -0.0922595 , ..., -0.00792149,
-0.04542159, 0.07880748]], dtype=float32)]

    while the def im currently using looks like the following

def EMBED_SEQUENCE(QUERY_SEQUENCES, TOKENIZER, MODEL):
EMBEDDINGS = []
MODEL.eval()
for SEQ in QUERY_SEQUENCES:
INPUTS = TOKENIZER(SEQ, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=1024)
with torch.no_grad():
OUTPUTS = MODEL(**INPUTS)
EMBEDDING = OUTPUTS.last_hidden_state.mean(dim=1).cpu().numpy()
EMBEDDINGS.append(EMBEDDING)
return EMBEDDINGS

QUERIES = EMBED_SEQUENCE(QUERY_SEQUENCES, TOKENIZER, MODEL)

I might need to add that im using the prot_bert tokenizer as following

from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertModel
TOKENIZER = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("Rostlab/prot_bert", do_lower_case=False, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=True)
MODEL = BertModel.from_pretrained("Rostlab/prot_bert")
