Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper is well organized.

A few minor issues are as follows:

Algorithm 4.2 is not given. Please check for missing items in the paper.
Figure 3-10 should appear within section 5.
please provide detailed analysis on the results. Current status of experiment result touches only the visible results, but it would be much appreciated if the authors could provide reasons it is performing better than the other compared methods.
