Question: Problem description It seems that the get_latest_training_loss function in fasttext returns only 0. Both gensim 4.1.0 and 4.0.0 do not work. from gensim.models.callbacks import CallbackAny2Vec from pprint import pprint as print from gensim.models.fasttext import FastText from gensim.test.utils import datapath class callback(CallbackAny2Vec): '''Callback to print loss after each epoch.''' def __init__(self): self.epoch = 0 def on_epoch_end(self, model): loss = model.get_latest_training_loss() print('Loss after epoch {}: {}'.format(self.epoch, loss)) self.epoch += 1 # Set file names for train and test data corpus_file = datapath('lee_background.cor') model = FastText(vector_size=100, callbacks=[callback()]) # build the vocabulary model.build_vocab(corpus_file=corpus_file) # train the model model.train( corpus_file=corpus_file, epochs=model.epochs, total_examples=model.corpus_count, total_words=model.corpus_total_words, callbacks=model.callbacks, compute_loss=True, ) print(model)  'Loss after epoch 0: 0.0' 'Loss after epoch 1: 0.0' 'Loss after epoch 2: 0.0' 'Loss after epoch 3: 0.0' 'Loss after epoch 4: 0.0'  If currently FastText does not support get_latest_training_loss, the documentation here needs to be removed: https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/models/fasttext.html#gensim.models.fasttext.FastText.get_latest_training_loss Versions I have tried this in three different environments and neither of them works.

Answer: Indeed, loss-tracking hasn't ever been implemented in Gensim's FastText model, at least through release 4.1.0 (August 2021). The docs for that method appear in error, due to the inherited method from the Word2Vec superclass not being overriden to prevent the default assumption that superclass methods work. There is a long-open issue to fill the gaps & fix the problems in Gensim's loss-tracking (which is also somewhat buggy & incomplete for Word2Vec). But, at the moment I don't think any contributor is working on it, & it hasn't been prioritized for any upcoming release. It may require someone to volunteer to step forward & fix things.
