Yes, you can. Just create a properties file like follows Threads=8 Iterations=100 Algorithm=PERCEPTRON Cutoff=0
and train passing the properties file in the argument -params Note that perceptron models benefit from cutoff 0. For Maxent models usually you set something like 5. I usually try different values with the CV tool to find the best cutoff value.
