random_seed doesn't help to get the same result

[Moldoteck]

I am launching the same script two times in a row:

sng = SONG(n_components=2, n_neighbors=10, random_seed=42)
emb = sng.fit(data)
tr = emb.tranform(data)

and I get different values for tr, despite using fixed random seed

Can this be fixed somehow?

I think this is caused by the fact that you don't pass random_seed to UMAP instance here:

self.disp_model = UMAP(learning_rate=self.um_lr, n_components=self.dim, n_epochs=self.um_epochs, init=Y_init, min_dist=self.um_min_dist) but maybe there are other reasons as well

Hi Cristian, I'm like two years late, but this should be fixed in the newer versions.
