Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Dear authors,corrections are listed below:

There are no ANDs in the Artificial intelligence terms section in Table 1. This way you should get very uncorrelated results.

In Figure 1, a screenshot was taken with some words underlined. The shape needs to be changed. Additionally, a smaller image can be presented by removing the spaces within the box.

Tables 2 and 3 may be more understandable if presented graphically.

We thank the reviewer for the precious feedback.

Table 1 presents the string divided by area. Each area was then put together by the AND operator. This was mentioned in the text and now is also mentioned in the caption.

Figure 1 has been corrected, and the boxes has been reduced in size, maintaining consistency among the boxes sizes.

Table 2 was kept as original with a slight modification, because it contained extra info not possible to be represented in a pie chart.

Table 3 was turned into a pie chart in figure 2.
