Kernel Method

The kernel method is a technique in machine learning that allows algorithms to analyze complex data patterns by transforming data into higher-dimensional spaces without explicitly computing those transformations. This approach enables the model to find relationships and make predictions more effectively, especially when dealing with non-linear data. Think of it as a way to "zoom in" on the data, making hidden structures visible, so that the algorithm can better differentiate or classify different data points without needing to perform complicated calculations directly in the higher-dimensional space.
