Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

Kernel functions are used in machine learning including support vector machines to increas non-linear diversity. The term originates in mathematics where a postive definite kernel is a form of non-linear generalisation of the inner prooduct.
