TOLOMEO, a Novel Machine Learning Algorithm to Measure Information and Order in Correlated Networks and Predict Their State
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a well-written and well organized paper, but I still have some suggestions:
- Please tell the full name of TOLOMEO at the vert beginning in the abstract for easy understanding.
- I notice that the dots of sentences are missing at the end of many equations.
- Most of the reference papers are too old form nowadays.
- Last but not least, please revise through the paper for any possible typos.

We thank the Reviewer for the positive assessment of our work. We addressed all the points raised in detail below.

Done.
- I notice that the dots of sentences are missing at the end of many equations.
The Reviewer is right, we have now added them.
- Most of the reference papers are too old form nowadays.
We have now included more recent citations in correspondence to all reference older than twenty years.
-Last but not least, please revise through the paper for any possible typos.
We have now thoroughly checked the text according to the Reviewer’s suggestions. We hope readability has now improved.
Reviewer 2 Report
In this paper, the authors proposed a TOLOMEO, a novel algorithm able to infer the Maximum Entropy probability distribution of the discrete states of a network. The topic of the paper is a fit for the journal Entropy (ISSN 1099-4300). In addition, the readers are able to test TOLOMEO since authors share the data and the functionality of their proposed algorithm, with the documentation, through their website (http://2.236.83.49:8868). I personally tested TOLOMEO, and I would like to thank the authors for sharing their results.
The paper is generally well written, with a clear goal, sound analysis, and interpretation. Congratulations to the authors of exciting research. In my opinion, the article is suitable for publication.
Author Response
We really thank the Reviewer for the appraisal of our work and for testing the web server. We have now uploaded the web server on the "Isituto Italiano di Tecnologia" server, located at:
http://circe.iit.uniroma1.it:9205
And correspondingly updated the reference in the text.
