What is the definition of “feature” in neural network?

Question

I am a beginner of the neural network. I am very confused about the word feature. Can you give me a defintion of feature? Are the features the neurons

Answer 1

Features in a neural network are the variables or attributes in your data set. You usually pick a subset of variables that can be used as good predictors by your model. So in a neural network, the features would be the input layer, not the hidden layer nodes. The output is whatever variable (or variables) you're trying to predict.
