Latest review

First review round: 18.2 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
Although the topic was interesting as suggested by the AE, the reviewers were not quite satisfied with the comparisons and the experimental results. Most importantly, I failed to cite any work from IEEE TIE which was emphatically pointed out by the reviewers.
