/** @brief The Kernel base class.
 *
 * Non-mathematically spoken, a kernel is a function
 * that given two input objects \f${\bf x}\f$ and \f${\bf x'}\f$ returns a
 * score describing the similarity of the vectors. The score should be larger
 * when the objects are more similar.
 *
 * It can be defined as
 *
 * \f[
 * k({\bf x},{\bf x'})= \Phi_k({\bf x})\cdot \Phi_k({\bf x'})
 * \f]
 *
 * where \f$\Phi\f$ maps the objects into some potentially high dimensional
 * feature space.
 *
 * Apart from the input features, the base kernel takes only one argument (the
 * size of the kernel cache) that is used to efficiently train kernel-machines
 * like e.g. SVMs.
 *
 * In case you would like to define your own kernel, you only have to define a
 * new compute() function (and the kernel name via get_name() and
 * the kernel type get_kernel_type()). A good example to look at is the
 * GaussianKernel.
