An Interpretable Deep Learning Model for General Insurance Pricing

2025-09-10 · Patrick J. Laub, Tu Pho, Bernard Wong arxiv

This paper introduces the Actuarial Neural Additive Model, an inherently interpretable deep learning model for general insurance pricing that offers fully transparent and interpretable results while retaining the strong predictive power of neural networks. This model assigns a dedicated neural network (or subnetwork) to each individual covariate and pairwise interaction term to independently learn its impact on the modeled output while implementing various architectural constraints to allow for essential interpretability (e.g. sparsity) and practical requirements (e.g. smoothness, monotonicity) in insurance applications. The development of our model is grounded in a solid foundation, where we establish a concrete definition of interpretability within the insurance context, complemented by a rigorous mathematical framework. Comparisons in terms of prediction accuracy are made with traditional actuarial and state-of-the-art machine learning methods using both synthetic and real insurance datasets. The results show that the proposed model outperforms other methods in most cases while offering complete transparency in its internal logic, underscoring the strong interpretability and predictive capability.

Insurance Pricing Optimization via Off-Policy Evaluation

2026-05-27 · Sascha Günther, Dimitri Semenovich, Mario V. Wüthrich arxiv

Traditional insurance pricing relies on risk-based principles that ensure actuarial fairness and solvency but do not explicitly account for policyholders' price sensitivity. We formulate insurance pricing as a decision-m…

Bayesian CART models for insurance claims frequency

2023-03-03 · Yaojun Zhang, Lanpeng Ji, Georgios Aivaliotis, Charles Taylor

Accuracy and interpretability of a (non-life) insurance pricing model are essential qualities to ensure fair and transparent premiums for policy-holders, that reflect their risk. In recent years, the classification and r…

Extended Reduced-Form Framework for Non-Life Insurance

2018-02-21 · Francesca Biagini, Yinglin Zhang

In this paper we propose a general framework for modeling an insurance liability cash flow in continuous time, by generalizing the reduced-form framework for credit risk and life insurance. In particular, we assume a non…

Adaptive Pricing in Insurance: Generalized Linear Models and Gaussian Process Regression Approaches

2019-07-02 · Yuqing Zhang, Neil Walton

We study the application of dynamic pricing to insurance. We view this as an online revenue management problem where the insurance company looks to set prices to optimize the long-run revenue from selling a new insurance…
