  Kernel (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kernels in abstract algebra are general constructions which measure the failure of a homomorphism or function to be injective.
In set theory, the kernel of a function f : X → Y is an equivalence relation on X which is defined in terms of f.
The kernel pair of a morphism f is defined as a pullback of f with itself.

Unrelated to this, if f is any function in any context, then the kernel of f is a certain equivalence relation on the domain of f which is defined in terms of f.
But in the case of Mal'cev algebras, it can be replaced by a simpler definition; the kernel of a homomorphism f is the preimage under f of the zero element of the codomain.
Finally, for this last notion of kernel is generalised in a certain sense in category theory; the kernel of a morphism f is the difference kernel of f and the corresponding zero morphism (if this exists).

He therefore, of course, also considered Hegel's philosophy of mathematics from the point of view of a criticism that distinguishes, which knew how to separate the positive kernel of the material and its faithful translation and transformation from the negative shell of the mystically-distorted ideal.
Thus mathematical concepts and conformities to law are considered not as absolute, unchangeable, eternal truths, but as parts of the ideological superstructure of human society tied to the latter's fate.
The class standpoint in mathematics must not, however, be interpreted in such a way that all previous mathematics is rejected as a whole and that in its place a mathematics constructed out of completely new elements must be set up according to totally new principles.

 Kernel trick - InformationBlast
The kernel trick was first published in the 1964 paper Theoretical foundations of the potential function method in pattern recognition learning.
The kernel trick uses Mercer's condition, which states that any positive semi-definite kernel K(x, y) can be expressed as a dot product in a high-dimensional space.
This is desirable, because the high-dimensional space may be infinite-dimensional (as is the case when the kernel is a Gaussian).
