An appropriate distance is an essential ingredient in various real‐world learning tasks. Distance metric learning proposes to study a metric, which is capable of reflecting the data configuration much better in comparison with the commonly used methods. We offer an algorithm for simultaneous learning the Mahalanobis like distance and
