The manuscript demonstrates a good level of writing quality, with clear communication of complex ideas. However, there are areas for improvement in conciseness and flow, especially regarding sentence structure and word choice. Some inconsistencies exist, requiring attention before publication.
The manuscript maintains an appropriate academic tone throughout, using formal language and avoiding colloquialisms. The writing style is suitable for a scholarly publication.
The manuscript is generally clear, but some sentences could benefit from more precise wording to eliminate potential ambiguity. Specificity can be improved in certain descriptions.
The manuscript sometimes uses wordy constructions. Sentences can often be shortened and simplified without sacrificing meaning. Redundancy should be addressed for better impact.
While largely consistent, there are minor inconsistencies in phrasing and terminology. Ensuring uniformity across the document will enhance its professional appearance.
The manuscript generally exhibits strong grammar and syntax. Minor issues exist, such as occasional comma splices and awkward phrasing, but these do not significantly impede understanding.
Readability is generally good, but sentence transitions can sometimes be improved. Varying sentence structure and ensuring logical sequencing will enhance the flow of ideas.
Strong command of academic tone appropriate for the subject matter.
Clear and logical presentation of complex technical concepts.
Generally accurate grammar and syntax.
Occasional wordiness and unnecessarily complex sentence structures.
Minor inconsistencies in terminology and phrasing throughout the text.
The abstract lacks structure. Consider using subheadings to improve readability and information retrieval.
The abstract is unstructured (does not contain subheadings). This is common in many journals, but structured abstracts can improve readability and information retrieval.
The manuscript contains undefined acronyms. Ensure all acronyms are defined upon their first use in the body of the manuscript.
Acronym 'TFLOPS' is used here for the first time in the body but not defined. Please provide its full form.
Acronym 'ACL' is used here for the first time in the body but not defined. Please provide its full form.
Figures and tables need clearer, more descriptive captions. In addition, figures must be cited sequentially within the text of the manuscript.

The manuscript's structure requires adjustments, including subdividing lengthy sections, providing adequate background context, and re-evaluating the placement of supplementary visualizations.
Given the length of the Model Architecture section (1350 words), consider further subdividing it if possible to improve readability. Look for logical divisions within the existing subsections.
Ensure that the Background section provides sufficient context for readers unfamiliar with the specific area. If essential concepts are missing, expand this section accordingly.
The "Attention Visualizations" section is currently empty and should be populated with content. If the content is supplementary, consider moving this section (potentially renamed to "Visualizations" for conciseness) to an Appendix, which should be placed after the Conclusion and before the References.
