Machine learning is often seen as a mysterious “black box”, but it doesn’t have to be! This session is aimed at actuaries at all stages of their careers, from graduates who are new to the topic to more experienced actuaries who would like a clearer understanding of how machine learning could be used in their work. Join facilitator Kishan Padayachy for a practical introduction to what machine learning is, the business problems it can help solve, and why data is at the heart of every model. Through a simple worked example, we’ll bring the concepts to life. No previous machine learning experience required.
