Surprisingly, one of my reviewers actually responded to the answer and raised their score from 5 to 6. Hope this will help someone.

I similarly had a reviewer raise their score from a 3 to a 6!

What about the other two reviewers? Any word from them?

I had a total of 4 revieiwers. Went from (6, 6, 4, 3) to (6, 6, 5, 6). The first two reviewers didn't respond at all.

My only hope that my metareviewers will be diligent enough to reach out to the reviewers that didn't respond and ask if they'd changed their mind after reading the rebuttals. Not responding to the rebuttals destroys the purpose of rebuttal (and the review itself). If you volunteer to serve the community as a reviewer, why not commit to doing a good job of it? I wish I could contact the ACs, but the buttons are no longer available on OpenReview.

Yeah i feel your pain. it's a bit weird that even though a 5 this year is technically borderline accept, its basically a reject given the score distributions. And not getting a good rebuttal hurts.

Was it accepted in the end?

Congrats! Do u mean that you didn’t receive any email notification but found them respond and change the scores?

I got an auto-generated e-mail from openreview since the reviewer made an official comment below my answer, with the title of "[ICML 2023] Reviewer XXXX commented on your submission. Paper Number ...",

Same thing here. Only one of the reviewers answered our rebuttal (which was excruciatingly detailed). They seemed quite happy with it and even raised our paper's score from 3 to 6. The other two reviewers did not respond. Wondering if they even saw our rebuttal.
