Organised by the EAA - European Actuarial Academy GmbH in cooperation with the Aktuarvereinigung Österreichs (AVÖ).
This is part four of four courses required to obtain the EAA Certificate in Actuarial Data Science. To earn the certificate, participants must complete all four modules, which include both the seminar and the exam. Members of AVÖ and/or DAV will obtain the additional title Certified Actuarial Data Scientist (by AVÖ and/or DAV) by fulfilling the same requirements.
Furthermore, all courses are open to interested actuaries to deepen their knowledge and skills in the field of Actuarial Data Science (without exams).
Introduction Due to technological progress in connection with Data Science and Digitalization, summarized under the buzzword Big Data, a plethora of opportunities and challenges for the industry is arising.
Technological developments have now also reached the insurance industry and thus have a direct impact on the working world of actuaries.
Under the heading Actuarial Data Science, the procedures and methods of data mining are embedded in the actuarial context. These range from mathematics-driven statistical methods for derivation of insights from data to computation-driven methods sometimes summarized as machine learning. As a result of almost unlimited computing capacity through cloud computing and wide availability of training data, tried and tested methods of machine learning, such as artificial neural networks, are experiencing a renaissance in theory and practice.
Based on the building blocks known from the preceding courses, we want to deepen some topics and present further important topics from the field of Actuarial Data Science.
In this three-day training, we deepen techniques and methods of (Actuarial) Data Science and take a rather theoretical tour to complete this course. We will cover important aspects of information theory from coding theory to web computing and close the mathematical foundations of deep learning. Along with insights in relevant aspects of insurance analytics we will investigate use cases in an insurance context. Finally, we will give a prospect of what is probably going to emerge in the future, namely quantum computing.
