Dear SAS members,

 

The Data Analytics Committee is pleased to host an afternoon forum on predictive modelling.  This afternoon forum is held in collaboration with the Actuarial Networking Night, a platform for professionals and students to network and share insights.

We are pleased to welcome Jianshu WENG for this afternoon forum.

 

“Most of us have probably seen and/or experienced the benefit of predictive modelling in one way of another. But we still do not a wider acceptance in the insurance industry yet. One of the main reasons is the trust issue. How can we explain the model so that we can "trust" the model more instead of just treating it as a "black box"? In this talk, we will look at the issue of predictive model explain-ability and some technical attempts to achieve it.” 

 

Jianshu is currently with Swiss Re's Digital and Smart Analytics (DSA) APAC team, and serves as the Head of DSA APAC North. DSA team applies data analytics to unlock deeper insights so that the power of data can be better harnessed, not just for Swiss Re but for our clients. Before joining Swiss Re, Jianshu has many years' machine learning related research and consulting experience in both academia and industry, including HP Labs Singapore and Accenture. Jianshu received his Ph.D degree from the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2008.
