The face recognition has been used in a variety fields, such as identification and security. The procedure of the face recognition is as follows; extracting face features of face images, learning the extracted face features, and selecting some features among all extracted face features. The selected features have discrimination and are used for face recognition. However, there are numerous face features extracted from face images. If a face recognition system uses all extracted features, a high computing time is required for learning face features and the efficiency of computing resources decreases. To solve this problem, many researchers have proposed various Boosting methods, which improve the performance of learning algorithms. Mutual-Boost is the typical Boosting method and efficiently selects face features by using mutual information between two features. In this paper, we propose a GroupMutual-Boost method for improving Mutual-Boost. Our proposed method can shorten the time required for learning and recognizing face features and use computing resources more effectively since the method does not learn individual features but a feature group.

This study introduces the framework of the mutual recognition project of APEC Engineer and also tries to find out what we, Korean engineers have to do with this project. The mutual recognition framework consists of 2 main frameworks ; the substantial equivalence framework and the mutual exemption framework. The participating Economies have discussed and agreed on the framework of the substantial equivalency and have been producing APEC Engineers from the 1st, Nov 2000 based on this agreement. However, more discussions will be required from now on in order to finalize the mutual exemption agreement, even though there have been a lot of discussions including the workshop for the regulatory authority for the last 5 years. Here we have to study and find out what we have to do with this project and prepare for the bilateral agreements and the Coordinating Committee meeting to be held in Hongkong in Oct this year.

Climate change has been identified as one with the greatest challenges facing nations, government, business and over future decades. Activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the Kyoto Protocol, the international community has been in progress. Korea also has introduced the Emission trading system to reduce greenhouse emission from the supervision of the government. Greenhouse gases emissions quantity should be internationally recognized. Mutual Recognition Arrangement should be recognized as the same greenhouse gas emission. International recognition of domestic verification body of international mutual recognition is required. Efforts are needed to secure the equivalence between the emission rights through direct cooperation with the relative nation accreditation body. Early entry into the IAF/PAC GHG MLA is essential for demonstrating equivalence between greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions trading will also require connection to the EU ETS, California, USA, and Tokyo, Japan to link Emissions trading. In the case of establishing accreditation standards and accreditation criteria, it will be necessary to distinguish between the domestic Energy Target Management System and the Emission Trading System. Independent greenhouse gases verification bodies should be established to meet the requirements of IAF and PAC. It is necessary to revise the qualification criteria for the verification of the greenhouse gas verification body according to international standards requirements. It is necessary to support the role of accreditation bodies of domestic greenhouse gas verification bodies. It is required to join international organizations of international mutual recognition of international trade and the need for pilot projects to link greenhouse gas emissions. The core link to our emission trading system is called EU-ETS, and we will need to join the IAF/PAC GHG MLA GHG. The International Mutual Recognition Agreement (IAF) is expected to allow international interoperability of GHG emissions verification between EA and the PAC. By signing a PAC GHG MLA, it will need to be prepared to prepare for the pilot project to link the emission trading system.

This paper presents an efficient face recognition method by using both centroid shift and mutual information estimation of images. The centroid shift is to move an image to center coordinate calculated by first moment, which is applied to improve the recognition performance by excluding the needless backgrounds in face image. The mutual information which is a measurements of correlations, is applied to efficiently measure the similarity between images. Adaptive partition mutual information(AP-MI) estimation is especially applied to find an accurate dependence information by equally partitioning the samples of input image for calculating the probability density function(PDF). The proposed method has been applied to the problem for recognizing the 48 face images(12 persons * 4 scenes) of 64*64 pixels. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performances(speed, rate) than a conventional method without centroid shift. The proposed method has also robust performance to changes of facial expression, position, and angle, etc. respectively.

This study aimed to improve the understanding of the qualification recognition system between Korea and Russia and to provide a way to help in the conclusion of the agreement on the qualification recognition in higher education through discussing related issues. To this end, we examined the recognition of academic qualifications in Korea and Russia, analyzed the status of mutual recognition of qualifications in higher education, and finally pointed out the issues raised and suggested ways to improve them. In the discussion of the qualification agreement, the issues are: first, whether the level of the agreement should be an intergovernmental agreement or an inter-institutional arrangement; Second, what is the scope of the agreement, and, third, with regard to the question of universality of the application of mutual recognition, whether this agreement can be universally applied to all Russian federal entities at the conclusion of the agreement. This study suggested that the mutual recognition agreement be concluded at a comprehensive and general level, and the qualification should be limited to academic qualifications, and the universality of the mutual agreement should be specified. Based on the results of this study, we proposed the necessity of regular and continuous discussions between the experts and government officials of the two countries in order to establish the system of the mutual recognition agreement and implementation process between Korea and Russia.

This paper analyzes Paul Ricoeur's theory of mutual recognition with the concern for the establishment of a desirable relationship between cultures. Ricoeur tries to construct his own theory via Hegel and Honneth. He thinks, according to their theory, the state of being recognized could not arrive eternally. This means that the struggle for recognition could continue permanently. To put an end to the struggle for recognition, Ricoeur introduces the state of peace made possible by the exchange of ceremonial gifts. In other words, the struggle could be eliminated symbolically thorough the exchange of gifts. The mutuality established by this process however, can not accomplish its meaning without overcoming the original dissymmetry between one and the other in which phenomenology has a keen interest. To integrate the dissymmetry into mutuality, Ricoeur gives attention to 'between' the giver and the receiver in the system of gift exchange. He carries out this task by securing a just distance, or a distance in proximity.

This paper presents several important status and strategic rotes for APEC Engineer Framework. Every technologies and engineering services are opened to the world and freely competed under WTO system after 1995. Most developed economics have been organized and coordinated each other within the common economic zone, such as EU, NAFTA for the mutual recognition agreement for professional engineers . Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Engineers ( APEC Engineers) has been organizing to proceed the mutual recognition agreement for professional engineers among the Asia and Pacific economic including Korea from 1996. Therefore, Korean government and civil organization, such as KPEA must monitor and investigate the activities and managements of APEC Engineers.

Two independent component analysis(ICA) algorithms were applied for the recognition of speech signals corrupted by a car engine noise. Speech recognition was performed by hidden markov model(HMM) for the estimated signals and recognition rates were compared with those of orginal speech signals which are not corrupted. Two different ICA methods were applied for the estimation of speech signals, one of which is FastICA algorithm that maximizes negentropy, the other is information-maximization approach that maximizes the mutual information between inputs and outputs to give maximum independence among outputs. Word recognition rate for the Korean news sentences spoken by a male anchor is 87.85%, while there is 1.65% drop of performance on the average for the estimated speech signals by FastICA and 2.02% by information-maximization for the various signal to noise ratio(SNR). There is little difference between the methods.

With the lanuch of the World Trade Organization(WTO) system, National and international trends toward more liberalized regulation of telecommunications terminal equipments drive the globalization of the telecommunications market. Despite of such trends, most countries have long viewed the type approval system as a major hindrance to overseas maketing because of a hodgepodge of diverse type approval system of telecommunications terminal equipments in each country. But, recently, many countries under these situations try to make a better understanding of respective requeirements of each country's many countries under these situations try to make a better understanding of respective requirements of each country'stype approval system, and where possible to strengthen commonalities, through referred to as "multual recognitio" system for the purpose of the development of procedures for hamonization oftype approval system in "one world, one market". Thus, this paper covers the definition, considerations and the case studies of mutual recognition between countries. Also, this paper suggests the desirable and general model of mutual recognition to be applied all the countries, which are being preparing and processing it.g and processing it.
