WEB SESSION

20 May 2020

Web Session: Deep Learning Adv.: Generative Method for Risk Factor Modelling and Model Validation

Deep learning techniques represent a certain part of wider machine learning methods and have become increasingly popular for a variety of real-life applications solving complex high-dimensional problems.

So far, typical applications for deep learning architectures such as deep neural networks and recurrent neural networks include speech and pattern recognition, language processing, audio recognition or machine translation. In all these applications, deep learning techniques were able to yield break-through results due to their highly flexible and innovative architectures and their approach of training models towards a set of given data.

Newly emerging generative techniques such as generative adversarial networks or variational autoencoders which had originally been developed for image generation purposes allow for powerful applications in the field of risk modelling and model validation.

The web session will introduce these techniques in general and then present several use cases applying them to typical tasks from risk modelling and model validation. We will demonstrate where the sweet spot of these techniques is and how these techniques can be used to replace currently used methods and models or how they can be applied in combination with established statistical methods. Model validation builds another popular use case for such generative techniques where they are used as alternative benchmark to existing models with the beauty that the generative models introduced here are free of any strong assumptions and hence allow for the possibility of an “assumption-free model validation”.

The web session will contain detailed case studies for demonstrating the capabilities of generative deep learning methods, such as applications to copulas, multivariate risk factor distributions, risk factor dimension reduction and detection of data errors.

This web session is for practitioners in the area of risk modelling or model validation who want to gain a deeper understanding how cutting-edge deep learning techniques can be applied to this field.

Organised by the EAA - European Actuarial Academy GmbH.

Participants

The web session is open to all interested persons.

Technical requirements and test session
Please check with your IT department if your firewall and computer settings support web session participation (the programme GoToWebinar is used for the web session). Please also make sure that you are joining the web session with a stable internet connection. 

On 13 May 10:00 – 10:30 CEST, there will be a test session offered to all registered participants to test the software.

Purpose and Nature

The web session will introduce generative deep learning techniques in general and then present several use cases applying them to typical tasks from risk modelling and model validation.

We will demonstrate where the sweet spot of these techniques is and how these techniques can be used to validate or replace currently used methods and models or applied in combination with established statistical methods.

The web session will contain detailed case studies for demonstrating the capabilities of generative deep learning methods, such as applications to copulas, multivariate risk factor distributions, risk factor dimension reduction and detection of data errors.

Language

The language of the web session will be English.
