I've been looking at this a few times. Its like a giant ensemble. But I'm not sure ML will be able to beat chance on average on a data source like this.

And if someone discovers they are making money consistently on numerai, I think they would set up their own fund quite quickly.

I do like the encrypted system though, could be used for other ML competitions where you don't want to give your model away
