Abstract: Novel activators of the APC complex and methods and uses of these activators are provided. In particular, the activators are used for increasing resistance to stress and/or increasing lifespan in a plant or mammalian cell, in a plant or mammalian embryo or in a plant or subject. The activators are also used for treating cancer in a subject.

Abstract: Methods and systems are directed to enabling CNN operation close to an image sensor and facilitating CNN inference near the image sensor. The system includes, in part, a digital image sensor and a plurality of processing layers that include, in part, an attention-based preprocessing layer (APL), an inference computation layer (ICL), and a fully connected layer. The digital image sensor can include, in part, a plurality of regions and each region can be processed by region processing units disposed in the APL/ICL in parallel. Each region processing unit disposed in the APL can include, in part, an attention module that determines whether the corresponding region is a relevant region. The region processing units disposed in the APL transmit only relevant data to corresponding region processing units in the ICL and only activate the corresponding region processing units in the ICL for relevant regions. The ICL can include, in part, two convolution layers.
