I am trying to figure out the concept of "input space" in the context of machine learning.

Wikipedia is using this term and does not give a definition or explanation of it.

This post gives a definition of "input space". (Please give a more appropriate definition or explanation if needed)

The "input space" is just all the possible inputs.

Consider the Iris flower data set, is the "input space" of this dataset $$R^4$$ or something like $$X^4, 0<X<R$$

  • $\begingroup$ This "definition" is too broad for your question to be answerable: the "input space" is whatever you might care to specify. It's determined by far more than the set of data you might already have, including alternative possibilities you contemplate for the data, what might be implied by any probabilistic assumptions you make, the prediction procedures you might be applying, and the purposes of your analysis. $\endgroup$
