Basic reporting

- The article should be revised for grammatical errors.

Experimental design

- How were users' features extracted? Especially dynamic features. What is meant by log(DAY S + 1), log(NT + 1), etc.?
- How were the features extracted from the day-level feature vector obtained? Uncertainty must be resolved.
-It should be explained how the K-encoder combines information on the data in the study.
- Were the results of RoBERTa and ELECTRA taken within the scope of this study? If so, the results should be included in Table 2 and Figure 5.
- Why was the training and test dataset chosen as 70:30?

Validity of the findings

Indirect aggression on social media is a new research topic. The differences in the method proposed in this paper from the limited studies on the subject and the innovation it will bring to the literature are not clearly stated. Contributions should be increased by adding the novelty of the data set and the innovative aspects of the method to the general statements in the theoretical contribution section.

Additional comments

In this study, a method based on ERNIE is proposed to solve the problem of indirect aggression in social media. The problem was classified into 3 different clusters by creating features considering the activities of Weibo users. The paper should be reviewed and necessary adjustments should be made, taking into account the evaluations I have made under different headings.

Basic reporting

Language is well written, but a thorough proofreading is recommended to fix minor grammatical errors. The following are the changes that are recommended to consider further

1. Provide a tabular representation of the existing works in the literature and differentiate how the proposed model is significant compared to other existing models for Predicting social media users' indirect aggression
2. Provide flow chart/pseudocode for the proposed approach

3. Comparison study/experiments need to be elaborated.

4. How the proposed model is efficient while utilizing resources, needs to be addressed.

5. Future works and conclusion needs to be changed.

Experimental design

Rigorous experimental analysis is required

Validity of the findings

Validity of the findings are worthy but needs to use diverse datasets
