*is trying to understand the meaning*

I-I don't think I understand this. It's a bit.. weird for me. Is that the whole comment, CK? No prologue or whatsoever?

But then again, my English also sucks T__T. Sorry~..

No prologue. That's the first sentence. I guess maybe the reviewer is also non-native english speaker. maybe he/she meant to write "no mention is made bla bla" but ended up writing "any" which makes me confused.

Ah well, so lazy to rewrite those parts D:

I suppose the reviewer is no english native speaker just like me xDDDD

Yeah, I guess I should rework that part. I'm making this post hoping that my interpretation is wrong so I don't have to rework on it xDDDD

Thanks En-Sensei <3

Is that from a native English speaker? Coz the sentence construction just.... *shrugs*

I'd rewrite it according to how I understand it, but I might be out of context so I'd just keep mum. LOL.

Hmmm... are you writing a grant or something? That kinda sounds like it, so I'm going to offer "advice" based on that idea. If it's a research paper, I guess it's kinda the same idea as well. Basically, I think they are asking for you to comment on related work that's also going on in your field right now. Given that it's common for groups doing similar research to be competing for both grants and publications, often one group will try to de-base another by pointing out flaws in another's research. Of course, this is a little borderline with plain-out attacking another group, so I'm not actually telling you to do this unless you do find some really huge flaw... that you can prove with your own research/data. All in all, any proposal should already have some preliminary data (usually of your own, but sometimes it's the lab's data or someone else's) which gives basis/foundations for your proposed work--this is your justification as to why your research project is worthy and why it ought to be funded (if it's a grant) or published ( ... )

it's a paper for international conference. It's not yet decided whether it'll be published or not, but I have to fix things, and the comment from this reviewer is difficult to understand. Moreover, Indonesia is the stupidest country when it comes to paper, so I don't get any paper-writing classes except for basic things ^^;;; So thanks so muach! This is really helpful <3333333333

Oh, I see, I see. Good luck with it!! Fyi, if you'd like me to read it over for English and overall flow (since I'm used to dealing with scientific papers), I don't mind. Granted, I have no real knowledge when it comes to computer science persay, but I've read enough science papers/research proposals to know the general outline and what should be included. (Doesn't help that my best friend's also in the sciences/research and works as an editor as a side job :P)

Urm... honestly I do have problems with grammars T_T No foundation of writing scientific paper in English xD My professor also works with me and would know what should be included or not, but she was a graduate of French graduate school so she keeps saying that she leaves all the english to me 8D
