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? 

In this webcast, Max 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.

Featured speaker:

Max Martinelli, Lead Actuarial Data Scientist at Akur8
