German term or phrase: Alpha-Maschinen

Die Alpha-Maschinen
Innerhalb des Gesamtrisikos, das systematisch gesteuert und den Zielvorgaben laufend angepasst wird, wird eine Reihe „klassischer“ aktiver Strategien eingesetzt. Das Ziel ist Alpha, also in den jeweiligen Segmenten der Kapitalmärkte mehr Ertrag zu erzielen als durch eine passive Anlage. Dabei wird die Expertise der Fondsmanager und Analysten von XY, aber auch von anderen Investmenthäusern eingesetzt.

alpha generators

Explanation:
The only reference I can find to alpha machines in this context is a German industry association publication that puts the term in inverted commas. I think you'll find that "alpha generators" is the more common term, e.g.:
www.aima.org/uploads/PremiaCap(2).pdf
