Webinar: Deep Learning Advanced: Generative Method for Risk Factor Modelling and Model Validation
Deep learning techniques represent a certain part of wider machine learning methods and have become increasingly popular for a variety of real-life applications solving complex high-dimensional problems.
So far, typical applications for deep learning architectures such as deep neural networks and recurrent neural networks include speech and pattern recognition, language processing, audio recognition or machine translation. In all these applications, deep learning techniques were able to yield break-through results due to their highly flexible and innovative architectures and their approach of training models towards a set of given data.
Newly emerging generative techniques such as generative adversarial networks or variational autoencoders which had originally been developed for image generation purposes allow for powerful applications in the field of risk modelling and model validation.

The webinar will introduce generative deep learning techniques in general and then present several use cases applying them to typical tasks from risk modelling and model validation.
We will demonstrate where the sweet spot of these techniques is and how these techniques can be used to validate or replace currently used methods and models or applied in combination with established statistical methods.
The webinar will contain detailed case studies for demonstrating the capabilities of generative deep learning methods, such as applications to copulas, multivariate risk factor distributions, risk factor dimension reduction and detection of data errors.
