Numerai

Numerai is a data science tournament. It’s like Algorithmic trading without doing the trading part.

Tournaments

Numerai has three tournaments.

Classic / Regular

• Try to predict on a black-box dataset.

• You don’t know the stock tickers or what the data features mean.

• ID: 1a868e3e-1df7-45ca-91e0-34e315f5bee2

• Name: kazutsugi

• Tournament: 8

Signals

• You bring your own data and predict for each stock ticker.

• You know which stocks you are predicting for.

• ID: 1adb7bf1-f61a-4718-a73b-fd516e32a475

• Name: signals

• Tournament: 11

Crypto

• This is the newest Numerai tournament.
• You bring your own data and try to predict Cryptocurrency returns. So this is basically the same as Numerai Signals, but for crypto coins instead of stocks.

Classic

In this tournament, you get an obfuscated dataset. You don’t know the stock tickers, and all the features are normalized into 5 distinct values and have random names.

Datasets

v4.3

That’s a lotta features

v5

The v5 dataset has the same features as v4, but with an expanded universe.

Signals

API

Numerai has a GraphQL API. Both public data (like rounds, dataset URLs, leaderboards etc) and private data (authentication, submissions etc) go over a single endpoint.

The GraphQL endpoint is https://api-tournament.numer.ai.

To play around with the API, you can use a dedicated GUI like GraphQL Playground. You can also simply visit the endpoint URL with a browser, there is a built-in GUI you can use.

NMR (Numeraire)

NMR is the cryptocurrency / utility token used in the Numerai tournaments.
