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

Remove slack feature from GISTrainer
------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENNLP-165
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-165
             Project: OpenNLP
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Maxent
            Reporter: Jörn Kottmann
            Assignee: Jörn Kottmann


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

---------------------------------------

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.

-----------------------------------------

Yes, we can get rid of the slack feature.

I'd actually like to just do away with GIS in favor of LBFGS, so I'm not particularly invested in maintaining GIS.

---------------------------------------

Ok nice, then lets remove the slack parameter.

Yeah, LBFGS we would need to implement first, when it is in place we could start thinking about removing GIS,
but I guess having both for a while is also nice to compare them.

Please open a jira to document your request for LBFGS training, maybe with a link to a paper.

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

This change will only remove support to train "old" models with the slack param. To train such an old model a user needed to download the source code and recompile with the GISTrainer.slackParameter flag set to true.

The support for the slack parameter will only be removed from the GISTrainer, the GISModel will still support old models which have it.
