The training algorithm only depend on the data through dot products in H, i.e. on functions of the form Φ(x_i)·Φ(x_j). Now if there were a “kernel function” K such that
K(x_i,x_j) = Φ(x_i)·Φ(x_j),
we would only need to use K in the training algorithm, and would never need to explicitly even know what Φ is. One example is radial basis functions (RBF) or gaussian kernels where, H is infinite dimensional, so it would not be very easy to work with Φ explicitly.
Training the model requires the choice of:
• the kernel function, that determines the shape of the decision surface
• parameters in the kernel function (eg: for gaussian kernel:variance of the Gaussian, for polynomial kernel: degree of the polynomial)
• the regularization parameter λ.
