The paper looks good to accept in general.

Although the idea is interesting, I recommend to improvement article with some comments as
below:
- More description for experiments should be done.
- The method can be explained in a clearer way.Try to explain the theory more detailed in
discussion.
- The references in this manuscript are somewhat out-of-date.In clude more recent researches in
this field.
- The manuscript has not been carefully written.
- Some figures can not show on my computer, such as fig.2 and fig.3.
- There are many grammar mistakes as well, eg the first sentences of the fifth paragraph.
- The reason of using certain parameters in the experiments should be discussed in more details.

It is important to check the (English) writing of the paper. There are many writing errors that do
not help the reader to concentrate and focus on the subject.

(Compared with more traditional research)


The discussion or comparison between the proposed method and previous well known methods
is expected to be added into the paper.

(Yet to let a comment)


I think this paper is acceptable and interesting and fits within the scope of the conference.
But some revision with reviewers' comments will help to improve the quality of the paper in the
