I think you might be a little too in love with words like "neuromodulatory", while overlooking whether a simple deep FF network might be able to achieve what you're proposing. Just add a layer, nodes, and weights and you get this "modulatory" effect through linear combinations of the subsequent layers. Maybe I'm not grasping your intent, but I think if you can reduce it to math, you can then try to prove this is something that isn't already achieved through FF and backprop.

Hi, thanks for doing this! A few questions: 1) Given the recent tech layoffs, what do you think the mood is among sponsors and attendees where hiring is concerned? Is there a lot of active recruiting? 2) Do you feel like the sponsors/vendors are exclusively hiring people fresh out of school, or is there a range of openings? 3) Are you seeing any groups working on neuro-symbolic methods to leverage the successes of LLMs?

(You were kind to address my earlier question in this sub about job seeking at NeurIPS - unfortunately I wasn't able to come this year. )

Perhaps dig deeper on activation functions, optimization algorithm, or step sizes. Try some alternatives.
If your domain images (and things that differentiate between classes) are very different than those in the pretrained network maybe it doesn't have the features you need.

Sorry you didn't get a more definitive or satisfactory result. Up to you how much to continue to push it, but you could let them know you'll think twice about reviewing for them in the future without anonymity. You can also reject papers from people you know or have any link to (possibly harder).

I understand you may feel constrained by knowing the author. But this issue is bigger than just their paper and their feelings. I would 100% contact the Chair, and it (edit: if) they do nothing, raise it with the organizion as a whole.

If you wish you can let the author and other reviewers know this is not normal. Reviewers shouldn't break anonymity and authors shouldn't be able to see reviewers or directly ask them to change reviews, and for that reason you will be contacting the Chair. You can tell them you"re not going to make the issue about reprimand for their specific actions but about protecting the anonymity of peer review.
