Description: Neural Networks are no longer limited to classification and regression solutions to numeric problems. CNNs add the ability to classify images, and GANs can create new images. Learn how these capabilities can provide competitive advantages to early adopters, how they work, and how to implement them.

Description: The author discusses the two-part presentation on complexity science tools at the SOA Annual Meeting October 2010. He explains that presentations went back to basics with explanations about the difference between modeling tools used to employ deterministic methods for classical actuarial models.

Description: Provides a simplified explanation of the modeling and statistical terms currently in use by the profession, and provides a list of publications worth reading in regards to complexity science plus a list of free software.

Description: Panelists discuss pricing issues, patent issues, safeguards, successes, failures, and other observations about the future of automated underwriting. From the 2002 Record of Society of Actuaries, Volume 28, No. 3. Session 134PD of the Boston Annual Meeting.

Description: This session 84I of the 2001 SAO Annual Meeting in New Orleans is about how many insurers are migrating toward Web-based interactive underwriting systems in order to economize and streamline the underwriting process. This requires some radically different techniques well beyond the time-honored traditional approaches. From the Record of the Society of Actuaries, Vol 27, No. 3
