Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1) The current abstract is too plain. It is recommended to indicate the significant scientific contribution and novelty of this work. The current abstract only introduces that the authors conduct a case study and achieve some results. But the scientific contribution is not clear. What is the exact scientific problem solved in this paper? Some necessary descriptions should be included.

 

2) In the introduction, the necessity of conducting the risk management for transmission line networks can be expanded to similar application fields, such as the traction power network in railway engineering [1-2], which may attract readers from a wide range.

[2] Contact wire irregularity stochastics and effect on high-speed railway pantograph-catenary interactions. IEEE Trans Instrum Meas. 2020;69:8196–8206.

 

3) The literature review regarding the current risk management method should be introduced in more detail. From the current version, the literature review looks quite insufficient, which may not be helpful to highlight the motivation of this work. The literature review in Section 3 is recommended to be moved a bit earlier to facilitate the readers’ understanding.

 

4) Is the size of texts in Figure 2 relevant to the priority of the keyword in the word cloud?

 

5) Is there any other evidence to prove the effectiveness of the present method? The feasible evidence can be the comparison with the previous method or the validation of the accuracy through a case study.

 

Generally, I think the topic of this work is quite interesting. But the above issues should be properly addressed before the publication of this paper.

Response to Reviewer 1 Comments

Point 1: The current abstract is too plain. It is recommended to indicate the significant scientific contribution and novelty of this work. The current abstract only introduces the authors conduct a case study and achieve some results. But the scientific contribution is not clear. What is the exact scientific problem solved in this paper? Some necessary descriptions should be included.

Response 1: This paper is the first to calculate risk probabilities in the implementation of transmission lines based on unstructured text. This proposed method differs from previous ones which used structured data (numerical and/or categorical) from single or multiple sources. We addressed this point by adding the following clarifications in the abstract: … Instead, in this paper, we propose a novel method to calculate risk probabilities in the implementation of transmission lines based on unstructured text from a single source. … This method differs from previous works which were based on structured data (numerical and/or categorical) from single or multiple sources.

Point 2:  In the introduction, the necessity of conducting the risk management for transmission line networks can be expanded to similar application fields, such as the traction power network in railway engineering [1-2], which may attract readers from a wide range.

[1] A traction network chain-circuit model with detailed consideration of integrated grounding system in tunnel path. IEEE Trans Transp Electrif. 2019;5:535–551.

[2] Contact wire irregularity stochastics and effect on high-speed railway pantograph-catenary interactions. IEEE Trans Instrum Meas. 2020;69:8196–8206.

Response 2: We added those references in the introduction and this piece of text: Even other related fields in the energy sector such as traction power networks in railway engineering can benefit from risk management. 

Point 3:  The literature review regarding the current risk management method should be introduced in more detail. From the current version, the literature review looks quite insufficient, which may not be helpful to highlight the motivation of this work. The literature review in Section 3 is recommended to be moved a bit earlier to facilitate the readers’ understanding.

Response 3: We moved the related work section 2. We also included part of the Point 1 explanation to the end of the related work section. To the best of our knowledge, we couldn’t find other related work that used unstructured data (text) to calculate risk probabilities in the implementation of transmission lines. In this case, we presented the closest ones we could find that are more related to traditional data science approaches for risk assessment.

Point 4:  Is the size of texts in Figure 2 relevant to the priority of the keyword in the word cloud?

Response 4: The bigger the text size, it means that the word appeared more times on the weekly reports. This doesn’t mean that more frequent words get a higher weight in the probability calculation. However, since they appear more frequently, they will probably impact more risks than smaller ones. This explanation has been added to the text.

Point 5: Is there any other evidence to prove the effectiveness of the present method? The feasible evidence can be the comparison with the previous method or the validation of the accuracy through a case study.

Response 5: Previous methods were not based on text and were not applied to the same risks that our method was applied to. We validated our method accuracy through the presented study case. All our results were validated by industry experts in the field, since this work is sponsored by a R&D project with companies from the energy sector.

Point 6:  Generally, I think the topic of this work is quite interesting. But the above issues should be properly addressed before the publication of this paper.

Response 6: They were addressed in the previous points.

Reviewer 3 Report

Title: "Analysis of unstructured data for power line risk management" deals with the analysis of unstructured data.
Comments:
- align "bullets" with the requirements of the template
- Figures should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited. 
- Fig.10 is located in the "Literature" section.
- r.271 - it states "The reports with the highest occurrences presented 21 different risks, ID 12.696, made in April ......" - such ID is not in the picture, the same "The meeting report, ID 12.815, ...."

The paper is processed at a high level and deals with the current problem, namely risk analysis. The source data for the experiment were obtained through "reports" from the website.
The whole post looks compact. The individual parts follow each other logically. From my point of view, it might be appropriate to describe some parts in more detail
- e.g. show the format of the source text file downloaded from the website.
- chap. 4.1 - The keyword search method and algorithm can be described in more detail
- The authors state that - "The script downloads the corresponding HTML page for each report and extracts the report content..." - in what form? where?
- chap. 4.3 - maybe more details- the authors write that they created a map linking the reports to one or more risks- perhaps an example of the result view 
In the end, the authors state what their future work will be in this area. There is a mentioned database, which they do not write about in detail (structure would suffice).

Response to Reviewer 3 Comments

Point 1: Title: "Analysis of unstructured data for power line risk management" deals with the analysis of unstructured data. Comments: - align "bullets" with the requirements of the template

Response 1: We fixed the bullets to numbers according to the template just before the Methodology section.

Point 2: - Figures should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited. 

Response 2: We placed the figures as close as possible to the first time they are cited.

Point 3: - Fig.10 is located in the "Literature" section.

Response 3:  Figure 10 moved to just before the Conclusion section.

Point 4: - r.271 - it states "The reports with the highest occurrences presented 21 different risks, ID 12.696, made in April ......" - such ID is not in the picture, the same "The meeting report, ID 12.815, ...."

Response 4: The graph labels size on x axis were too big, so it omitted some IDs to fit the whole text (unfortunately the ones we referred to). We found it better to remove the specific IDs from the text, and just make reference to the reports as the ones with the highest number of occurrences (21 risks), since reducing the size of the label size would make them unreadable.

Point 5:  The paper is processed at a high level and deals with the current problem, namely risk analysis. The source data for the experiment were obtained through "reports" from the website. The whole post looks compact. The individual parts follow each other logically. From my point of view, it might be appropriate to describe some parts in more detail  - e.g. show the format of the source text file downloaded from the website.

Response 5: We added more detailed information about the reports’ structure in section 4.1.  “The HTML pages have a header with the following fields: information about the meeting, date, time and place. The content is also identified by the process ID tag and each process is split into: relevant area, rapporteur, and final decision.”

 

Point 6:  - chap. 4.1 - The keyword search method and algorithm can be described in more detail

Response 6: We added a more detailed explanation about the keyword search method in section 4.1. “The keyword search method splits each document per process. Each process is extracted and its content is stored in the database with a respective ID. The content itself is composed of a topic and a final decision regarding the process. Aside from storing the full text of each process, each individual keyword is also stored on another table, discarding the stop words. Those keywords are used to calculate their occurrence frequency and relevance during the generation of relevant keywords.”

Point 7:  - The authors state that - "The script downloads the corresponding HTML page for each report and extracts the report content..." - in what form? where?

Response 7: Each link displays the report on a single HTML page. The developed script traverses each report’s HTML page, downloads it and parses the HTML page to remove irrelevant information and store only the data/text regarding the report itself.  This explanation has been added to the paper.

Point 8:  - chap. 4.3 - maybe more details- the authors write that they created a map linking the reports to one or more risks- perhaps an example of the result view 

Response 8: Figure 2 has been added to section 4.3. Also the following text to add more detail on how the keywords are linked to the reports. “Figure 2 shows how the words are extracted from the reports database and grouped into keywords. Then The incidence of keywords on risks is checked in the risks/causes database. Finally, the most relevant keywords are generated and their frequency calculated in the reports.”

Point 9:  In the end, the authors state what their future work will be in this area. There is a mentioned database, which they do not write about in detail (structure would suffice).

Response 9:  The database mentioned is the current one of ANEEL reports. We improved the aforementioned future work paragraph. The new text is: “As future work, it is intended to feed the current database of reports with other data sources such as the electoral court reports which impacts the concession of energy transmission lines. Those data sources could have their keywords extracted, crossed with the current database so the risk weight and probability calculations could be more precise by including different information sources, and the relevant information would be made available to managers responsible for decision-making.” 

Reviewer 4 Report

The authors present the paper in a clear and extensive way. 

The presentation is well organized and structured. Here my major comments: 

 

-lines 8-9 please add more description to the results in the abstract section. 97/233 is not clear what is meant 

-line 30: why is an "essential database" ? Please specify 

-line 37: "this paper uses NLP techniques"

-line 40: the first using this dataset? Or the first in general? Please specify 

-Also in the introduction please specify what 97/233 means in a more clear way 

-lines 121: the 233 risks should be added in a  table (in the supplementary material) for the sake of completeness

-How were the 233 factors identified? Please specify also here (not only in section 4.2)

-Figure 1: Add more description of the workflow to the caption 

-I think a numerical example could be added to the formulation of the problem in section 4.4. for the sake of clarity

-Role of words clouds should be better specified. How were they used? 

-Figure 3-4-5-6-7 needs more details and description in the caption 

 

-I think the Dashboard should be represented with a better figure in the paper. Figure 8 and 9 are not so clear, and should be improved/merged 

Author Response

Point 1: The authors present the paper in a clear and extensive way.  The presentation is well organized and structured. Here my major comments:  -lines 8-9 please add more description to the results in the abstract section. 97/233 is not clear what is meant

Response 1:  We added the following text to add more detail to the abstract results “Our results show that we were able to extract relevant keywords from the ANEEL reports that enabled our proposed method to  estimate the probability of 97 risks out of 233 listed by an expert.”

Point 2:  -line 30: why is an "essential database" ? Please specify 

Response 2: We changed the word from “essential” to “important” which is more appropriate.

Point 3: -line 37: "this paper uses NLP techniques"

Response 3: Word “techniques” added in the mentioned sentence.

Point 4:  -line 40: the first using this dataset? Or the first in general? Please specify 

Response 4: We meant the first scientific research to use that particular database to assess risk. We made the statement more specific: “this is the first scientific work to use those particular weekly reports to estimate the probability of risks in the implementation of transmission lines.”

Point 5:  -Also in the introduction please specify what 97/233 means in a more clear way 

Response 5: We added the following explanation to make it clearer:  “These risks are related to weather, environmental conditions, land constraints, costs and investments (e.g. Non-approval of the study of the regions with indigenous settlements, increase in the number of malaria cases registered, political changes in local governments etc.). Based on specialist knowledge, 233 risks were identified during the acquisition and implementation of energy transmission lines. The specialist wrote down a list of possible causes related to each risk.”

Point 6:  -lines 121: the 233 risks should be added in a  table (in the supplementary material) for the sake of completeness

Response 6: We added the full list at the end of this rebuttal.

Point 7: -How were the 233 factors identified? Please specify also here (not only in section 4.2)

Response 7: Addressed in Point 5.

Point 8: -Figure 1: Add more description of the workflow to the caption 

Response 8: The following description has been added: “Diagram representing the methodology steps. Firstly, the weekly reports are extracted from the ANEEL's website through web crawling. Secondly, the risks and causes are listed by an expert. Then the unstructured reports are processed using NLP techniques and keywords are extracted from the risks' causes. Finally, the risk probability is estimated.”

Point 9: -I think a numerical example could be added to the formulation of the problem in section 4.4. for the sake of clarity

Response 9: This example has been added to the text.

“In order to illustrate how the probability is calculated, we provide two examples. For Equation 1, given a given risk \textit{i} in a report \textit{j}, if unique keywords $K_{ij} = 10$ were found and the maximum number of unique keywords were $max(K) = 222$, the report's weight would be $W_{ij} = 10/222 = 0.045$. For Equation 2, if the sum of all report's weight for a particular risk $\sum{W_{ij}} = 1.206$, and the number of reports linked to the risk $N_{i} = 82$, the risk probability would be 0.015 = 1.5, a low risk in this case.”

Point 10: -Role of words clouds should be better specified. How were they used? 

Response 10: The word cloud was just an illustration to visualize the most frequent keywords found in the weekly reports. It is not part of the NLP technique proposed.

Point 11: -Figure 3-4-5-6-7 needs more details and description in the caption 

Response 11: The following detailed explanations were added to each Figure. It is important to note that in the reviewed version, a new figure was included, so the figure numbers will be increased by 1 (Figure 3 in the original submission will be Figure 4 in the reviewed version).

“Figure 3 - Number of unique risks per year. When at least one keyword from the causes of a specific risk is found in a report from a particular year, this risk is accounted for in the unique risks per year shown in this graph. It is important to note that if keywords are found on different reports for the same risk, still that risk is counted only once for that particular year.”

“Figure 4 - Number of distinct risks per report.  It shows how many risks are found on each report, represented by their IDs. Some reports in the year 2020 have up to 21 risks linked to it.”  

“Figure 5 -Risk probabilities by each identifier. It shows the 9 risks with the highest probability. Probabilities are calculated based on Equation 2.”

“Figure 6 - Risk probability per area of interest. Those areas are: Engineering, O&M Engineering, Land, Environment, Regulatory and Investors. It accounts for the average risk probability for all risks that fall on each particular area.”

“Figure 7 -Risk probability per phase. Those project phases are: Implantation, Operation, Pre-Auction and Viability. It accounts for the average risk probability for all risks that fall on each particular project phase.”

Point 12:  -I think the Dashboard should be represented with a better figure in the paper. Figure 8 and 9 are not so clear, and should be improved/merged 

Response 12: We removed Figure 8 and increased the size of Figure 9 for better visualization. We adjusted the respective text as follows: “Lastly, a web-based \textit{Dashboard} system was developed for the management and visualization of the risk probability. It enables users to interact with graphs and calculate risk probabilities and impacts on transmission line implementation projects. Figure \ref{fig:dashboard-01} shows the risk trend interface. This graph can be customized by many filters, including time intervals, areas, and phases, to select and generate the results for analysis.”
