Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Models for Actuarial Applications
Lecture slides from UNSW’s ACTL3143 & ACTL5111 courses
Overview
These are the lecture slides from my recent “Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Models for Actuarial Applications” courses (coded ACTL3143 & ACTL5111) at UNSW. They can be used to see what topics I covered in these courses. The slides are not intended to be used to learn deep learning from scratch. For that, you need to attend the lectures & complete the assessment.
Lecture Materials
- Course Overview (slides)
- Python (slides)
- Deep Learning with Keras (slides)
- Categorical Variables (slides)
- Classification (slides)
- Computer Vision (slides)
- Natural Language Processing (slides)
- Uncertainty Quantification (slides)
- Recurrent Networks and Time Series (slides)
- Generative Networks (slides)
- Generative Adversarial Networks (slides)
- Interpretability (slides)
Readings
The readings from the book will come mainly from Géron (2022), which is available through the UNSW Library’s access to O’Reilly Media texts. I’ll give references to the 3rd edition, but if you get your hands on a copy of the 2nd edition then that is also fine. Some readings will be from James et al. (2021) (or equivalently the the Python version James et al. (2023)) which is available online. Note, if I say “read from A up to B”, that means to read A but stop at B (without reading it).
Week | Readings |
---|---|
1 | Géron (2022): Chapter 1, Chapter 2 (up to “Handling Text and Categorical Attributes”), James et al. (2021): Sections 10.1 & 10.2 |
2 | Géron (2022): Chapter 2 (up to “Launch, Monitor, and Maintain Your System”), Chapter 3 (up to “Multilabel Classification”), Chapter 10 (“Implementing MLPs with Keras” up to “Building Complex Models Using the Functional API”) |
3 | James et al. (2021): Section 10.3, Géron (2022): Chapter 14 (just skim through the specific historical architectures, like InceptionNet etc.) |
4 | James et al. (2021): Section 10.4, Vajjala et al. (2020): Chapters 1 and 2 (up to “Modeling”) |
5 | James et al. (2021): Section 10.5, Géron (2022): Chapter 15 |
7 | - |
8 | - |
9 | Chollet (2021): Chapter 12 |
10 | - |
The following readings are for those who are taking ACTL3142/ACTL5110 at the same time as ACTL3143/ACTL5111 (or who just need to brush up on that course a little):
Week | Readings (ACTL3142 Revision) |
---|---|
1 | James et al. (2021): Chapter 2, Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 5.1.1 |
2 | James et al. (2021): Section 3.3.1, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 |
