contents We present a novel method for predicting binary phase diagrams through the automatic construction of a minimal basis set of representative templates. The core assumption is that any materials space can be divided into a small number of regions with similar chemical tendencies and bonding properties, and that a minimal set of templates can efficiently represent the key chemical trends across the different regions. By combining data-driven techniques with ab-initio crystal structure prediction, we can efficiently partition the materials space and construct templates reflecting variations in chemical behavior. Preliminary results demonstrate that our method predicts binary convex hulls with accuracy comparable to resource-intensive EA searches, while achieving a significant reduction in computational time (by a factor of 25). The method can be extended to ternary and multinary systems, enabling efficient high-throughput exploration and mapping of complex material spaces. By providing a transformative solution for high-throughput materials discovery, our approach paves the way for uncovering advanced quantum materials and accelerating in silico design.
