Reviewer 3 Report

Paper deals with important task. It has scientific novelty and great practical value.

It has a logical structure, all necessary sections. Paper is technically sound. 

Suggestions:

1. Introduction section should be significantly extended .
2. It would be good to add the remainder of this paper
3. Related works section should be extended using non-iterative approaches for solving the stated task. Authors can use SGTM neural-like structure and its modification among others
4. Authors should provide a link to open access repository with dataset used for modeling
5. Authors should add all optimal parameters for all investigated methods
6. Conclusion section should be extended using: 1) numerical results obtained in the paper; 2) limitations of the proposed approach; 3) prospects for the future research.
7. Some of references are outdated. Please fix it using 3-5 years old papers in high-impact journals.

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

Thanks for taking the time to address my queries and making relevant changes to the manuscript. I may have missed it, but maybe add a sentence or two about the multi-class/multi-label distinction in the manuscript if not already done - it could be my shortcoming I was still confused until I read your cover letter.
