[jira] [Commented] (OPENNLP-165) Remove slack feature from GISTrainer

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-165?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13028155#comment-13028155 ] 

Jörn Kottmann commented on OPENNLP-165:
---------------------------------------

Jason, as I recall from a discussion we had last year, you said the slack variable is not needed anymore through an update which was done by Tom and is now just some relique from the past? The code also indicates that because the code path to compute it is disabled.

Can we remove safely the code path which computes the slack feature? If so I would like to do so as part of the refactoring.
That is also something which is fully backward compatible.

> The GISTrainer once used a slack variable, but some time ago this was disabled in the code via a flag. The flag and slack variable computation code should be removed from the GISTrainer
