Numerai Tournament Training Data Explorer
R Shiny Web Interface for Exploring Numerai Tournament Training Data
Numerai is a crowdsourced hedgefund that hosts machine learning tournaments which attract thousands of data scientists around the world to compete for Numeraire cryptocurrency. The company provides clean, regularized, and obfuscated data, where anyone with expertise in machine learning can freely participate.
You can use this app to explore the data before diving into any model! Here is a snapshot of what the app looks like in action:
Running the App
We are hosting our own instance of the app at the following URL:
