[Pasindu Udawatta]

Dear Dr. Ravi,

We are the group from the University of Moratuwa, seeking your insights on our manuscript on prompt-based learning for code-mixed and code-switched text classification, planned for submission to the Computer Speech & Language journal. The paper, refined with Dr. Surangika's guidance, is shared on Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/1118559118ycjkpsytfvxm.

Your feedback on content, structure, and improvements would be invaluable. We look forward to your valuable input.

Thank you and best regards,

Since this is a journal submission, there is no deadline. However, sooner the better.

[Shekhar, Ravi]

Have you set an internal deadline? 

I will have a look as soon as possible.

[Surangika Ranathunga]

In my personal plan, I have scheduled it to October. 

[Shekhar, Ravi]

Sorry. I am not able to find time to read the paper. 

I have 2 papers submission to LREC. So, I will be able to do it after that only.

Hello Dr Surangika,

It happened to us as well. We commented out some sections in the "main.tex" and compiled them. Then uncommented the commented ones and compiled. It worked for us.

A pdf is attached.

[Shekhar, Ravi]

Sometimes, it happens when { } or $$ is not properly closed. 

Also, figures are not displayed.

I tried by forcing the compiler to stop at first error. There don't seem to be any such error.

Thinking that the long compilation time is due to XeLatex trying to compile non-ascii fonts, I tried commenting out those sections. But that also did not work.

So I just read the pdf, and added comments to the latex file.

Team - please address the comments and pass to Ravi. I'm done with reviewing for the time being.

Dear Dr. Ravi,

What do you mean by the Overleaf version? Are you referring to the compiler version or the content

[Surangika Ranathunga]

He just wants to know whether the overleaf is upto-date or not.

[Pasindu Udawatta]

We are using the Overleaf web version

[Surangika Ranathunga]

I mean, whether your project in overleaf is upto-date.

[Pasindu Udawatta]

Yes, it's the latest version

[Shekhar, Ravi]

 I was still getting a time-out error. So, created a copy in my paid a/c let's use it https://www.overleaf.com/8942111878hsywpjmmnpfb#16f02e 

I will drop a mail when I am done with my comments.

[Shekhar, Ravi]

I have added my comments to the new Overleaf (https://www.overleaf.com/8942111878hsywpjmmnpfb#16f02e ). 

Sec 6 placement is still not coherent. I will leave you all to decide what to do with it. 

In Sec 8.1, there are some statements regarding Dynamic prompts, without support from the results.  

Sec 8.2 & 8.3 only do analysis on sentiment analysis. Ideally, we should do it for all datasets.

Dear Dr. Ravi,

Following a discussion with Dr. Surangika, we have refined and updated the content of the paper. Additionally, we have introduced a declaration section. We want to ensure that this addition aligns with your expectations.

If you have any specific feedback or preferences regarding the declaration section or any other aspect of the updated content, please do let us know at your earliest convenience. We plan to submit the paper before 2024/01/27.

Thank you and Best regards,

[Shekhar, Ravi]

Hi, 

I just skimmed the paper. The only comment I have is to improve the figures, use contrastive colors, and make the text in those figures hard to read. Also, chatGPT in writing needs better clarification on how it is used. Specifically, saying never asked these tools to write based on prompts and directly using their outputs. 

Where are we submitting?

We will be submitting to the computer speech and language journal.

Hi, 

Do we have any update on this?

The paper got rejected about two days ago. The only comment was that it lacks novelty. I suspect that the editor could not find any reviewers, and simply decided to reject.

We are looking for alternative journals. I suggested world wide web journal, which is Q1. 

[Shekhar, Ravi]

That's shame. 

I don't know the journal, will trust your judgment. 

Let me know if something needs to be done from my side.
