I am working on a problem where I have to model a graph topology, where the nodes are logic/arithmetic operations that can be applied to the input. The network receives a multi-dimensional input, and returns a multi-dimensional processed output with less dimensions. The only things I have to do this are a set of input/output pairs and a set of probable nodes.
The system itself follows a few constraints:
- The nodes are unique, so there is a limited amount of possible subsets that can compose the graph.
- The input must enter a single node, and the output must be returned from a single node, even if the path of the information branches within the network.
- In case multiple topologies are possible, the minimal is the answer.
There are also a few aggravants:
- Since the nodes are a "probable list", there is no guarantee that the system is possible, but it is important to try to find the closest match possible, as a machine learning system uses the closeness to satisfaction to find new sets of probable nodes.
- Nodes might receive multiple or just one input, and they might output one or multiple streams of output.
Given this system, I am wondering if anyone here knows of an existing algorithm that solves this problem(or something close that can be adapted).
My question thus is as follows:
Given a set of arithmetic and logical functions and a set of input/output pairs, is there an algorithm to find a graph of functions that satisfies all inputs/output pairs?
