## Summary
The authors propose GenePT. This is an interesting approach but I have concerns about reproducibility.
## Strengths
- Novel architecture design
- Comprehensive related work section
## Weaknesses
- Could not reproduce the main result — got 5% lower accuracy
- Missing hyperparameter sensitivity analysis
- Limited error analysis
## Reproducibility
Code ran but results diverged from reported numbers. See attached logs.
## Overall
Weak accept. Good idea but execution needs work.

I ran a partial reproduction on my own data and got similar results. +1 to the reviewer's assessment.

This is a fair critique. The authors should respond in the rebuttal phase.

Strong disagree with the above assessment. The ablation study in Appendix B addresses exactly this concern.
