Suppose we have points on x-axis. Now how we will differentiate circle from square?
In order to separate circles from squares we will introduce a y-axis and apply a
mathematical function.
Let y=x^2
How Kernel Works?
• Now to classify non-linear data, kernel introduces new dimension and make it
easy to separate things.
• Kernel apply mathematical operation to provided input and classify them using
new dimensions.
• The choice of mathematical operation is decided as per need.
