The Tools of the Trade - Machine Learning in Actuarial Pursuits
What does it mean to be a machine learner? What distinguishes machine learning from other branches of AI? How do these tools compare to actuarial technologies of the past? Why is supervised learning most applicable to the actuarial profession and how do GBMs compare to Modern GLMs?
Join us for a conversation that balances the philosophy of machine learning with the technical use cases for actuaries with a presentation inspired by content from the Casualty Actuarial Society's AI Fast Track bootcamp.

Max Martinelli
Max Martinelli joined Akur8 as an Actuarial Data Scientist in 2023. He works with clients to ensure they get the most out of Akur8's transparent machine learning software. This ranges from actuarial modeling advice to collaborating on how an insurer can get the most out of their data. Before this, Max worked in various actuarial and data science roles at Allstate for nearly 8 years. He has worked on auto, property and specialty lines with a broad scope of projects. These ranged from traditional actuarial indications to price optimization to cutting-edge high-fidelity telematics models. His work spanned from production grade models to rapid research models to further Allstate's pricing sophistication with extensive use of GLMs, GLMnets, GBMs and Bayesian GLMs.
