Workshop D3: Two worlds colliding: the role of pricing actuaries among data scientists: industry perspective
As expert modellers, pricing actuaries over the last few years have been keen to upskill in various coding languages and study alternative modelling algorithms for predicting claims experience, especially in personal lines insurance.
This is all well and good in an analytical, research, and development environment. But what if you want to implement all this knowledge into live pricing?
The speakers in this session will showcase how actuaries and data scientists can collaborate to produce market leading pricing algorithms. They will celebrate diversity in pricing teams, leveraging their own experiences (from actuaries in the business and data scientists), elements of research around data-driven culture, and parts of the Actuaries’ Code.
Topics discussed will range from the tech stack to team structure and everything else in-between.
Speakers: Kristina Hegarty, Tom Beckett, Paul Shannon, Hastings Direct
