Programme
Friday -12. November 2021
Climate/Meteorology related risks
15.30-16.45
Gabriella Szépszó
Predictability and future changes of severe weather events
Earth system is composed of atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, land surface and biosphere, including non-linear interactions between them. Numerical weather prediction concentrates on short-range description of the atmospheric features, while climate modelling aims at describing future evolution of Earth System. There are various uncertainties in the modelling process which have to be quantified for the forecast users. In the presentation, the
scientific background of weather and climate modelling is introduced with special focus on the uncertainties in prediction of severe weather events.

Predictability and future changes of severe weather events – Part II
18.00-19.00
Radek Solnicky
Modelling of athmospheric perils
Modelling of atmospheric perils is becoming ever more detailed with increasing amount of data and information available. While the outputs of natural catastrophe models may remain similar from the user point of view, the amount and detail of the analyses on the model development side is growing. In this session various challenges and solutions related to development of a flood/windstorm/hail model will be presented.

Artificial Intelligence
9.00-9.45
Mohammad Azmatullah Sharif, FSA
AI Applications in Insurance Pricing
In order to improve results based on traditional pricing methods, machine learning algorithms can be used at each step of pricing in insurance industry from data preparation to actuarial modeling, to tariff simulation and behavioral optimization.
9.45-10.15
Break
10.15-11.45
András Benczúr
Boosting, explainable AI and feature selection in finance
Gradient boosting produces a prediction model in the form of an ensemble of weak prediction models, typically decision trees. SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) is a game theoretic approach to explain the output of any machine learning model. It connects optimal credit allocation with local explanations using the classic Shapley values from game theory and their related extensions. SHAP can be combined very well with gradient boosted trees. In my presentation, I will give examples of how Python packages for boosting and model explanation can be applied for behavior modeling in finance.
12.30
Lunch
The last 10 minutes of presentations are reserved for questions and comments.
The programme is still subject to change.
