ASTIN is planning a reading club initiative that will provide regular opportunities for members interested in research to interact. Given the widespread interest in the actuarial community on applications of machine learning, we will initiate the reading club by going through the new work by Mario Wüthrich and Michael Merz, Statistical Foundations of Actuarial Learning, and its Applications. Sessions will be held on a fortnightly basis, hosted by the organising committee (initial members R. Richman and D. Semenovich), who will nominate presenters for each session and communicate the time and technical details of the event. For the sessions of the reading club, presenters will prepare a 30-45 minute informal walk-through for the selected material. A member of the organising committee will facilitate
subsequent discussion.


"In this session, we will give an introduction to "Statistical Foundations of Actuarial Learning and its Applications" by Professor Dr. Mario Wüthrich. This will set the stage for the biweekly meetings that will occur as we read the book together."

Registration is now open!
