Developing an MQ-LSTM-Based Cultural Tourism Accelerator with Database Security

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper introduces a Cultural Tourism (CT) model for Riyadh during peak tourist periods. The model involves processing map data, cultural event datasets, and Social Network Sites (SNS) data, using techniques like Kriging Interpolation-based Chameleon (KIC), word embedding, and a Multi-Quadratic-Long Short Term Memory (MQ-LSTM) Recommendation System. The resulting recommendations, along with a map, are stored in a database with security measures. The model's performance is experimentally verified.

Please provide a section that describes the dataset, presents some examples during data processing steps, and highlights the train/test split process, etc

This manuscript does not mention any specific limitations or drawbacks of the proposed method. It is important to recognize that the results are obtained in a particular dataset and may not be generalizable to diverse datasets and scenarios.

In the conclusion section, only the experimental results are presented. It is essential to include a broader conclusion that encompasses the author's insights and opinions derived from the content presented throughout the paper.

Please update/edit sections between Conclusion and References on page 19-20.

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors,

Thank You for the opportunity to read this interesting paper. My impressions are mainly related to the structure of the paper. Some imrovements are required in order to provide better understanding of the paper. First of all, it is important to indicate (more clearly) which is the main idea of this paper, what are the gaps in the literature, related to this topis, why iz was important for the study area, ets. Later on, within methodology it is also important to provide a better explanation about the manner in which the research was conducted, which analyses were used and why are they considered as an appropriate solution for this research. Results are also confusing, the structure shoud be more clear to readers. Discussion and conclusions should be written in more details. Please add informarion regarding the main limitations, practical implications and future research proposals.

Comment1:It is important to indicate (more clearly) which is the main idea of this paper, what are the gaps in the literature, related to this topics, why iz was important for the study area.

Response: 

We thank the reviewer for the valuable suggestion.

The research gap and the problems of the related works are mentioned in section 1.1 of the manuscript.

Comment 2: Within methodology, it is also important to provide a better explanation about the manner in which the research was conducted, which analyses were used and why are they considered as an appropriate solution for this research.

Response: As per the reviewer’s valuable suggestion, the methodology section has been revised in the manuscript.

Comment 3: Results are also confusing, the structure should be clearer to the readers.

Response: As per the feedback, the structure of the result section has been made clear.

Comment 4: Discussion and conclusion should be written in more details.

Response: 

Thanks to the reviewer, this thorough review helped immensely in shaping our manuscript.

Based on the commentary, the discussion and conclusion section has been updated in the manuscript.

Comment 5: Please add more information regarding the limitations, practical implications and future research proposals.

Response: 

Acknowledging the reviewer comment.

The detailed description about the limitations, practical implications and future research are updated under section 5.

Reviewer 3 Report

It was a pleasure to read the written paper, considering that the research topic is very innovative and interesting. On the other hand, authors should pay attention to several things in order to make the paper suitable for publication. My suggestions are as follows:

Abstract

Riyadh - write the country.

Write the objective of the research and briefly the results obtained.

Stay within the word limit for the abstract.

Introduction

Supplement the introduction with a review of previous research on this or similar topics, whether there is a research gap, what is the contribution of the work in the literature, etc.

Pay attention to abbreviations, write the full name for each at the first mention (eg: RS - full name, line 44, second paragraph)

Subtitle 1.1

“Even though some researches are available” - list which researches? (line 68)

The goals are set clearly and in detail.

2. Related works - I suggest that the title of the chapter be renamed to literature review.

Pay attention when citing references. When the author's name is cited in the text, Li and associates (2022) should be cited. The same goes for every subsequent paragraph within this chapter! A sentence cannot start with a parenthesis!

Reword the entire chapter a bit, and avoid exhaustive enumeration of previous research. Add your critical review to the literature review and unify the chapter as a whole (avoid this number of paragraphs).

3. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY FOR THE CULTURAL TOURISM ACCELERATOR IN RIYADH – match the font with other titles, exclude capital letters.

The methodology is explained in great detail, so that future authors can repeat the research in other locations. I would suggest reducing the number of subheadings, ie. combining more text into fewer subheadings.

“In 2000, Riyadh was chosen as the cultural capital of the Arab world by UNESCO” - provide references that prove the claim.

Mark the tables: Pseudocode of Proposed KIC grouping and Pseudocode of proposed MQ-LSTM (structure them a little differently to be more clearly displayed).

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION - the same as the title 3. Equalize the font according to the author's instructions, and in accordance with the other titles and subtitles.

Pay attention to the academic style of writing, you cannot start a chapter and a paragraph with the word "Here"!

Figure 5 - the window in which the value labels from the tables are marked and listed next to the graph, in order to see all the values more clearly. The same applies to Figures 6.

Table 1: Performance analysis of Proposed MQ-LSTM - this should be table 3 because you did not mark the previous two. Likewise, table 2 should be table 4. Correct throughout the text.

It is necessary to add a chapter of discussions, where the obtained results of the work will be discussed.

Likewise, the conclusion chapter should be expanded, add suggestions for future research, limitations, and briefly state the critical conclusions of the paper.

I believe that more citations of references should be added throughout the text because they are missing, although the references listed are appropriate and are all recent. I believe that for this category of journals, the work should be supported by a larger number of references.
