In this paper, the following is made: 1) to cope with the scaling problem of projection learning, we propose a dynamic localized projection learning using $k$ nearest neighbors, 2) the localized method is compared with SVM from some viewpoints, and 3) approximate nearest neighbors are demonstrated their usefulness in such a localization. As a result, it is shown that SVM is superior to projection learning in many classification problems in its optimal setting but the setting is not easy. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-14980-1\_8} \end
