## Generic kernel class
#
# This kernel provide common interface for all kernels. This interface
# includes the following key kernel manipulations (functions):
# --Dot(x1, x2): $K(x1, x2)$
# --Expand(x1, x2, alpha): $sum_r K(x1_i,x2_r) \times alpha2_r$
# --Tensor(x1, y1, x2, y2): $K(x1_i,x2_j) \times (y1_i \times y1_j)$
# --TensorExpand(x1, y1, x2, y2, alpha2):
# $sum_r K(x1_i,x2_r) \times (y1_i \times y1_r) \times alpha2_r$
# --Remember(x): Remember data x
# --Forget(x): Remove remembered data x
# To design a specific kernel, simply overload these methods. The generic
# kernel itself should never be instantiated.
