Are TextRepresentation and entity_initializer redundant?

[lorenzobalzani]

What's the difference between including entity_initializer or not in the following piece of code? Is specifying it redundant since text representations are already there?

from pykeen.triples import TriplesFactory
from pykeen.nn import TextRepresentation
from pykeen.models import DistMult

triples_factory = TriplesFactory.from_path("path/to/my/triples.txt")

entity_representations = TextRepresentation.from_triples_factory(
    triples_factory=triples_factory,
    encoder="transformer",
)

model = DistMult(
    triples_factory=triples_factory,
    embedding_dim=entity_representations.shape[0],
    entity_representations=entity_representations,
    entity_initializer=entity_representations.encoder.forward_normalized(
        entity_representations.labels
    ),
    random_seed=42,
)

If you pass a pre-instantiated entity representation for entity_representations, the entity_initializer is ignored.
