System and method for chaining discrete models

Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and computer-implemented methods for determining relationships between one or more outputs of a first model and one or more inputs of a second model that collectively represent a real world system, and chaining the models together. For example, the system described herein may determine how to chain a plurality of models by training an artificial intelligence system using the nodes of the models such that the trained artificial intelligence system predicts related output and input node connections. The system may then link related nodes to chain the models together. The systems, computer program products, and computer-implemented methods may thus, according to various embodiments, enable a plurality of discrete models to be optimally chained.
