The course shows how different algorithms can be used to obtain a segmentation of insurance data. The methods covered range from centroid-based (k-means, k-prototypes) to probabilistic (Gaussian Mixture Models) and density-based (DBSCAN) approaches. We demonstrate how the clustering results can be visualized and evaluated. Moreover, it will be shown how the clustering results can be […]
The needed identification of cash flows not related to services introduces new considerations in the accounting process. Those will be discussed and approaches to achieve an adequate reflection in presentation. That does not only apply to contracts with savings elements, as in life insurance. As well non-life insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts often contain investment […]
On 12 May 2022, the third EAA e-Conference on "Data Science & Data Ethics" will take place live and virtually. The programme will combine keynote speeches with food for thought from well-known experts and selected talks from professionals through a Call for Papers. The Data Science & Data Ethics e-Conference is open to all actuaries […]
After an introduction to the specificities on cyber-risk, this session gives first steps towards a better understanding of cyber risk, by providing mathematical models and actuarial analysis. For a better quantification of cyber risk, we propose innovative models, both for the severity component (size of the claims) and the frequency component (accumulation risk and clustering […]
IFRS 17 will become effective on 01.01.2023 and it represents a step change for all entities that are required to apply its guidance. The changes will not be limited to the measurement of contracts – including their presentation in the balance sheet – but also substantially change how insurers present their period performance in the […]
The goal of the two-day web session is to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to the new measurement, presentation and disclosure guidance for insurance contracts. It will cover life, health and non-life business, including the special guidance on direct participating contracts and shorter term non-life contracts and give useful examples. In the web session, […]

Starting from the revenue recognition concepts of fee-based services, we will discuss the qualification criteria of IFRS 17 for the VFA. Basis are certain contractual features, including the identification of the underlying items belonging to the contract. Further conditions need to be met to qualify insurer’s share in the surplus as (variable) fee. Other contractual […]
Our focus will be on recently implemented models. An important criterium for the machine learning applications which will be presented in the web session is that an actual model with a company’s data has been built. In the beginning we will give a short introduction of machine learning and its best known and currently most […]

The debate on climate change has rapidly evolved in recent years. It is no longer on whether the evidence of human impact on climate change is real, but on whether key mitigating strategies being adopted are sufficient. It is becoming increasingly evident that the actuarial community’s understanding of climate risk is not yet as developed […]
