Numerai Signals Switches to Alpha + MPC Scoring
Numerai Signals Switches to Alpha + MPC Scoring
馃攧 Signals scoring overhaul
Numerai Signals is implementing a major scoring change starting September 2nd.
The platform will transition from its current system to Alpha + MPC scores for all new rounds.
- Alpha scoring was introduced in August as a new evaluation method
- MPC (Multi-Party Computation) scores will be combined with Alpha
- Change affects all prediction rounds beginning September 2nd or later
This represents a significant shift in how Signals evaluates and rewards predictions on the platform.
Starting with rounds on or after September 2nd, Signals will switch to Alpha + MPC scores.
Alpha is the most significant update to our scoring system since Signals launched. You can now train models to optimize for risk-aware metrics, so you know your signals are aligned with real-world performance. If you鈥檙e a quant, now is the time to build with Numerai Signals:
