Die philosophisch-naturwissenschaftliche und die wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät der Universität Basel bieten gemeinsam den interdisziplinären Masterstudiengang Actuarial Science an. Actuarial Science als Wissenschaft analysiert Fragestellungen der Versicherungsmathematik, der Risikoanalyse und der Finanztheorie. Mathematische Modelle werden auf ökonomische Sachverhalte angewendet, um Risiken erkennen, einschätzen und bewerten zu können. Der Masterstudiengang Actuarial Science richtet sich an Personen, die ihre mathematischen Interessen praxisorientiert vertiefen und mit ökonomischen und sozialen Themen verbinden möchten. Die Leitung des Studiengangs ist am Departement Mathematik und Informatik angesiedelt, welches rund 150 Mitarbeitende in Forschung, Lehre und Administration beschäftigt

The Data Science working group of the Swiss Actuarial Association (SAA) is glad to announce the next event of the Actuarial Data Science Après-Midi series.

We invite Neil Covington from FIS to investigate approaches to risk modelling across the insurance policy life cycle, from pricing to reserving

Topic                           Machine Learning in the Pricing and Reserving Life Cycle
Date & Time                Wednesday, 28.08.2024, 18:00 to 19:00 + Refreshments
Location                      Hotel St. Gotthard, Bahnhofstrasse 87, 8001 Zürich
SAA CPS                     1
# Participants              100

We'll discuss how new machine learning (ML) technologies and techniques can help insurers identify, assess and manage the risks that really matter, with examples of traditional and ML-driven, current and potential approaches. And we’ll ask why different approaches make sense for different stages of the life cycle, while exploring the best opportunities to adopt enhanced techniques.

The session will draw on FIS' experience and expertise in designing, building and implementing global solutions across the life, health, P&C/general insurance industry, and both insurance and reinsurance markets.

At FIS, he is also responsible for global GI and AI/ML insurance solutions management and development, alongside pre-sales and professional services support.

The event will be moderated by Alessandro Torre, Actuary and Portfolio Manager at Swiss Re.
