Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1.     Good work is carried out in the manuscript. Before proceeding further, authors are requested to adhere to the following minor revisions

2.     Please cite recent references in the literature part. There are so many old references that can be found in this manuscript.

3.     Figure 13 – The confusion matrix is not correctly mentioned. Please provide the correct details.

4.     Please remove the title of the figure from the image itself. Since the same thing is getting mentioned below the figures also.

5.     Which platform was adopted to get the results shown in Figure 4?

6.     Please proofread the entire manuscript for grammatical corrections.

7.     If possible, smoothen the English for effective presentation.

Reviewer 2 Report

The topic is promising, however, manuscript improvements are required:

1. The abstract should include the problem-solution, method, results (metrics (missing), and conclusions (scope, limits, applications).

2. The conclusion section should describe the metrics, contribution according to the testing algorithm, the difference between VMD and IVMD-SVD, applications, limitations, scope and future works to consolidate the algorithm, ways to access, and availability of the algorithm.

3. What is the technology readiness level of IVMD-SVD? in this sense, describe the limitations, scope and future works.
