The seminar will alternate between methodological concepts, practical examples and case studies in order to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the techniques presented. The participants will be requested to look at 4 e-learning modules (of around 30 minutes each) presenting the basics of machine learning before the web session. The access to these e-learning modules […]

Over the past years, technological advances have greatly increased our dependency on digital technology. As a result, consumers and businesses alike have become vulnerable to any form of distortion of their digital infrastructure. Due to the intangible nature and quickly changing character, risk managers face a formidable challenge to effectively manage this ‘cyber risk’. One […]

We'll be modelling Claims estimation using different traditional methods, automating the whole workflow we encounter in our daily tasks: from data handling, modelling and report generation (static or dynamic) as well as automatic component creation to be run by anyone, anywhere via desktop or web. We’ll also see alternative methods to be applied to this […]

The objective of this web session is to present the concept of Automatic Adjustment mechanisms for social security pension, based on real experiences in different countries. After a short reminder about public pension schemes, we develop some philosophies of automatic adaptation, including structural reforms such as NDC (notional account) or point systems. More theoretical models […]
