Description: In this report, we will try to provide an in-depth review of current Machine Learning and Deep Learning models and will explain how those models works and their possible applications in the actuarial field. The recent studies and successes from the industry will also be discussed. We intend to bring more actuaries onboard about those technologies and start to think about how to bring them into our daily work.

Description: The monograph walks the reader through the hindsight, insight and foresight building process while discussing theoretical and practical issues supporting the building of valid forecasts with provenance for each of these schema examples. That is, the analyst can document the iterative ‘profiling change processes’ mindscape and landscape elements by which and through which the successful forecast is built. This kind of forecast construction ameliorates the ‘black box’ problem of generating pattern output without an understanding of the pattern’s creation or contextual meaning that is often seen when using other methods, particularly machine learning and artificial intelligence. This issue is discussed, referencing appropriate thought leaders.
