The aim of the third generation of CALPHAD databases is to develop an accurate physically-based description of Gibbs energies of pure elements from 0K up to high temperatures that can guarantee a robust prediction of thermodynamic properties of binary, ternary and high-order systems within an entire temperature range. Recently, one of the successful attempts in this direction has been performed by Roslyakova et al. [1]. A novel thermodynamic modeling strategy of stable, metastable and liquid phases is proposed based on automated segmented regression (SR) approach. The SR model [1] contains only 5 parameters to be estimated from experimental data, which can be weighted in fully automated way based on application of unequal k-fold cross-validation method [2]. Moreover, some of the unknown models parameters are associated with physically-based constants and therefore can be compared with available experimental data. The segmented regression model has been successfully applied for 11 pure elements: Al, Cr, Fe [1], Ge, Ir, Mo, Nb, Re, W, Ni, Ta, binary Cr-Nb [2] and ternary Mo-Nb-Ta systems. In this work the application of automated proposed modeling approach has been extended to other 7 elements, such as Ag, Cu, Mg, Bi, Te, Si, Pb and some of their compounds, such as Cr2Nb [3] and Cr2Ta. Comparison with available experimental data showed a good agreement in low and high temperatures for all considered pure elements (see Figure 1).
