Given a number of images, wherever each image contains different face and is associated with a particular
name in the corresponding caption, the motive of face naming is to infer the correct name for each face. In this paper, we
introduced new methods to effectively solve this problem by learning two discriminative affinity matrices from these
weakly labelled images in database. At first are proposing a new method called regularized low-rank representation by
effectively utilizing weakly observed information to learn a low-rank reconstruction coefficient matrix while exploring
multiple subspace structures of the data. Specifically, by proposing a specially designed regularizer to the low-rank
representation technique, further we penalize the corresponding reconstruction coefficients related with situations where
a face is reconstructed by using face images from different subjects or by victimization itself. With the inferred
reconstruction coefficient matrix, a discriminative affinity matrix will be obtained. Additionally, we develop a new
distance metric learning technique called equivocally supervised structural metric learning by victimization weakly
supervised information to hunt a discriminative distance metric .Hence, another discriminative affinity matrix will be
obtained victimization the similarity matrix (i.e., the kernel matrix) supported to the Mahalanob is distances of the
information. perceptive that these two affinity matrices contain complementary information, we have a tendency to
additionally that to combine them to get a fused affinity matrix, based on which developed a new iterative scheme to infer
the name of each face .Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
