Describe 3 kernel functions and when to use which of them

1 啥是kernel

 Kernel methods map the data into higher dimensional spaces in the hope that in this higher-dimensional space the data could become more easily separated or better structured. 

2 常见 kernel

Apolynomial kernel, for example, allows us to model feature conjunctions up to the order of the polynomial.

Radial basis functions allows to pick out circles (or hyperspheres) 

Linear kernel, which allows only to pick out lines (or hyperplanes).

Hyperbolic Tangent (Sigmoid) Kernel ： quite popular for support vector machines due to its origin from neural network theory.
