Rejected after an 866 score (up from 856). the 8 score reviewer had given a 2 line review and the meta reviewer said their review was discounted (I expected this).The sad part is that in both neurips (score 656) and iclr (score 866), our paper was borderline/weak accept from all reviewers (and one 8 score this time), but the meta reviewer comes up with new problems with the paper, without giving us a chance to respond.

Any way, onto the grind for the next conferences, I hope I will get a first author top conference paper this year!
