Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The presented article entitled Typhoon Loss Assessment in Rural Housing in Ningbo Based on Township-Level Resolution deals with the application of RBF neural networks. I have a few comments and remarks on the article: 1. First of all, the scientific contribution of the contribution is not clear to me. It is a simple application of the RBF neural network to a certain set of data. 2. The abstract is too general and there is no reason to choose RBF neural networks. Their advantages and disadvantages compared to other types of neural networks. So why the authors chose this type of neural network. 3. The conclusion is general and brief Overall, the contribution needs to be reworked. The idea is interesting, but the design is rather superficial. It is necessary to focus on justifying the choice of a particular type of neural networks, compare this type with others used and justify the choice. Subsequently, the application dimension of the paper needs to be analyzed in more depth. Neural networks and their results allow them to look at the problems addressed more deeply and comprehensively, and this is missing in the article. This is what the authors must add. At the same time, verification of the results of RBF networks with other models is lacking.

Reviewer 2 Report

-  please adapt at least the titles of individual sections to the requirements of the article (Introduction, Materials & Methods, Results, Conclusions)

- In Abstract lacks a scientific purpose, same as in the introduction. What is the contribution of this article to the development of the scientific field / discipline? A scientific article cannot be based solely on applicability.

- In Figure 1 - please improve the text into English

- when describing the methods / procedure, please include a graph presenting the individual stages - which will facilitate tracking the analyzes

- There is no discussion of the results obtained

- conclusions must be longer - they must be a clear answer to the set goal (which must be specified). Moreover, please add an assessment of the limitations of the research procedure used. Please also complete the description of the research for the future.

- the article in its current form is more of an application text for a case study
