\subsection{Editor’s Decision Letter}
Ms. Ref. No.: XXX
Title: Solution Path Algorithm for Twin Multi-class Support Vector Machine
Expert Systems With Applications
Dear Dr. Li,
As Editor-in-Chief, I’m writing this editorial decision letter on your paper submission ESWA-D-21-01688R1. If you are interested in submitting a revised version, please read through this entire editorial decision letter carefully and take all actions seriously in order to avoid any delay in the review process of your revised manuscript submission. You need to upload a ‘Detailed Response to Reviewers’ in the EM system with the following sections while submitting the revised manuscript. Please note that the Required Sections (Section \#1 - a \& b, Section \#2 - a \& b, Section \#3 - a \& b) with specific Compliance Requirements (stated in this editorial decision letter) must be clearly labeled and included in the 'Detailed Response to Reviewers.’ The Required Sections must be clearly placed before the revised manuscript. NOTE: Section \#1-(a) MUST contain the COMPLETE text covered in this email letter from Editor-in-Chief, rather than just only the first paragraph of this email letter from Editor-in-Chief. Please note that your
submission will be sent back to the authors and will NOT be admitted for further review if any of the Required Sections (i.e., Section \#1 – a \& b, Section \#2 – a \& b, Section \#3 – a \& b) is incomplete or any non-compliance of the ESWA authors’ guidelines in the PDF file of the revised manuscript that you approve in EM system. So you need to take the Required Sections and Compliance Requirements seriously to avoid any delay in the review process of your revised manuscript. The font size of the Required Sections should be consistent and readable. The Required Sections must be placed in the order listed:
REQUIRED SECTIONS:
Section \#1: a) and b)
a. The entire editorial decision letter (i.e., complete text covered in this email letter) from Editor-in-Chief, and
b. your Point-to-Point responses to Editor-in-Chief in terms of Required Sections and Compliance Requirements.
Section \#2: a) and b)
a. The entire editorial decision comments made by the Associate Editor, and
b. your Point-to-Point responses to the Associate Editor.
Section \#3: a) and b)
a. The entire comments made by the Reviewers, and
b. your Point-to-Point responses to the Reviewers. Your Point-to-Point responses should be grouped by reviewers.
COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS:
In addition, please note that prior to admitting the revised submission to the next rigorous review process, all paper submissions must completely comply with ESWA Guide for Authors (see details at {https://www.elsevier.com/journals/expert-systems-with-applications/0957-4174/guide-for-authors}). These include at least the following Compliance Requirements:
A) Authorship policies - Please also note that ESWA takes authorship very seriously and all paper submissions MUST completely comply with all of the following three policies on authorship (clearly stated in the questionnaire responses in EM system) prior to a rigorous peer review process:
A)-1: The corresponding author needs to enter the full names, full affiliation with country and email address of every contributing author in EM online system. It is also mandatory that every contributing coauthor must be listed in EM at submission.
A)-2: It is mandatory that the full names, full affiliation with country and email address of every contributing author must be included in title (authorship) page of the manuscript. The first page of the manuscript should contain the title of the paper, and the full name, full affiliation with country and email address of every contributing author. Note that cover letter is not title (authorship) page.
A)-3: The authorship information in EM system must be consistent with the authorship information on the title (authorship) page of the manuscript.
B) Guidelines of reference style and reference list – Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association (APA).
B)-1: Reference Style:
Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association. You are referred to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition, ISBN 978-1-4338-0561-5. APA’s in-text citations require the author’s last name and the year of publication. You should cite publications in the text, for example, (Smith, 2020). However, you should not use [Smith, 2020]. Note: There should be no [1], [2], [3], etc in your manuscript.
B)-2: Reference List:
References should be arranged first alphabetically by the surname of the first author followed by initials of the author’s given name, and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication. For example, Van der Geer, J., Hanraads, J. A. J., \& Lupton, R. A. (2010). The art of writing a scientific article. Journal of Scientific Communications, 163, 51–59. {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.Sc.2010.00372}. Note: There should be no [1], [2], [3], etc in your references list.
C) Highlights guidelines – There should be a maximum of 85 characters, including spaces, per Highlight. Please kindly read this guideline carefully - the guideline does NOT say there should be a maximum of 85 words per Highlight. It says there should be a maximum of 85 characters per Highlight. As examples, the word “impact” consists of 6 characters; the word "significance" consists of 12 characters. Only include 3 to 5 Highlights. Minimum number is 3, and maximum number is 5.
NOTE: Your paper submission will be returned to authors and will NOT be admitted to further review if the revised paper fails to completely comply with the ESWA Guide for Authors. You need to take these Compliance Requirements seriously to avoid any delay in the review process of your revised manuscript.
To submit a Complete and Compliance revision, please go to {https://www.editorialmanager.com/eswa/} and login as an Author.

\subsection{Reviewers' Comments}
Reviewer \#2:
Thank you for responding to my comments, however, I do not see the changes in the document related to your responses. For instance:
*) P4: The authors say 'In the same year, another OVR TSVM (Angulo et al, 2003) was designed to solve the multi-classification ..' However, in the response letter, they say 'Indeed, Angulo et al. (2003) have adopted the idea of OVR strategy for SVM. Thus, we have replaced it with (Cong et al., 2008) that the idea of OVR has been introduced into TSVM.'
*) P23, line 437: add reference related to OVO TSVM. In the response letter, they say 'According to Sect. 3.2.1 in (Ding et al., 2019), this work implements OVO TSVM for multi-class classification by combining TSVM and OVO strategy'
\subsection{Response to Reviewers}
\noindent Dear Reviewer \#2:
Again, we would like to express our gratitude to you for your time and effort in reviewing and processing our manuscript and especially providing constructive comments and valuable suggestions for significantly improving the manuscript. Following these comments and suggestions, we have made changes in the revised manuscript. A point-by-point reply to the reviewer's comments is given below, where in each case we quote the referee’s comments and then explain how we have revised the paper to accommodate the revisions requested.
