Keras w/ Tensorflow intermediate layer extraction in batches

I am currently trying to leverage an intermediate layer from my already trained DL model as an embedding to a given input. The code below already works at getting the layer I want, however it is extremely slow to do this iteratively for a large number of inputs.

model = load_model('model.h5')
inp = model.input
outputs = [layer.output for layer in model.layers]
functors = [K.function([inp]+ [K.learning_phase()], [out]) for out in outputs]

def text2tensor(text):
    """Convert string to tensor"""
    tensor = tokenizer.texts_to_sequences([text])
    tensor = pad_sequences(tensor, maxlen=10, padding='pre')
    return tensor

def get_embedding(tensor, at_layer):
    """Get output at particular layer in network """
    functors = [K.function([inp]+ [K.learning_phase()], [out]) for out in outputs][at_layer-1]
    layer_outs = [func([tensor, 1.]) for func in [functors]]
    return layer_outs[0][0]


texts = ['this is my first text',
         'this is my second text',
         'this is my third text',
         .....nth text]

embeddings = np.empty((0,256))
for t in texts:
    tensor = text2tensor(t)
    embedding = get_embedding(tensor,at_layer=4)
    embeddings = np.append(embeddings,[embedding[0]],axis=0)

How do I make use of batch processing so that I don't have to do this one by one? It is extremely slow with the above implementation, but it works.

In addition to the point I mentioned in my comment, I suggest you to create a model instead of a backend function:

input_tensor = Input(shape=(10,))   # assuming maxlen=10
new_model = Model(input_tensor, my_desired_layer.output)

Then, first pre-process your text data to form an input array (i.e. my_data below) and afterwards use predict method and pass a batch_size argument to it to exploit batch processing:

out = new_model.predict(my_data)   # the default batch size is 32
