Hi,do you know where sigmoid kernel is? I didn't find it.

We have not implemented it.

a longer reply: in our personal experience, the sigmoid kernel rarely makes sense. It is slightly difficult to work with because positive-definiteness of the kernel is not guaranteed. Also as a model the sigmoid kernel has super weird behaviour.
