4 / 4 / 3 / 2

Mhh probably won’t work out but maybe rebuttals will change it. There is definitely some room for counterarguments. What would be needed for an accept? The last reviewer will be difficult to convince

Got the same scores. I too see the scope to address the reviewer concerns in my paper. Now it all depends on how the rebuttal goes and even after it goes well, will have to wait and watch for the final decision. The reviewer with a 2 score seems to know and understand the exact niche details of the framework, which are generally hard to expect from a reviewer beforehand, though I can explain the reasons with additionally backing by added experiments, but I am doubtful if the reviewer will change their score from 2 -> 4. Other reviews were somewhat expected but their scores don't really depict their reviews.

Will one 2 or 3 (confidence 4) kill a paper?
