  1. 1. Double Machine Learning for Insurance Price Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Jakob Kristiansson; [2023]
    Keywords : DML; Double Machine Learning; Price Optimization; Insurance Pricing; DML; Dubbel Maskininlärning; Prisoptimering; Försäkringsprissättning;

    Abstract : This thesis examines how recent advances in debaised machine learning can be used for estimating price elasticities of demand within the automotive insurance field. Traditional methods such as generalized linear model (GLM) to estimate demand has no way of ensuring there are no biases in the underlying data selection, especially when the confounding variables are many.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för filosofi, lingvistik och vetenskapsteori

    Author : Minerva Suvanto; [2022-10-07]
    Keywords : language model; BERT; FinBERT; bias; debias;

    Abstract : Language models are becoming increasingly popular. These models can contain social biases about various groups of people in them. The reproduction of biased beliefs can have harmful impacts on the groups they are about. We explore the extent of ethnic biases in the Finnish language model FinBERT. READ MORE

  4. 3. Using machine learning to identify the occurrence of changing air masses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper

    Author : Anund Bergfors; [2018]
    Keywords : machine learning; meteorology; data science; visualization; time series; pattern recognition; logistic regression; data mining; statistics; ai; physics; signal processing; control theory; automatic control; systems theory; information technology; maskininlärning; meteorologi; data science; visualisering; tidsserie; mönsterigenkänning; logistisk regression; datautvinning; statistik; ai; fysik; signalbehandling; reglerteknik; systemteknik; informationsteknologi;

    Abstract : In the forecast data post-processing at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) a regular Kalman filter is used to debias the two meter air temperature forecast of the physical models by controlling towards air temperature observations. The Kalman filter however diverges when encountering greater nonlinearities in shifting weather patterns, and can only be manually reset when a new air mass has stabilized itself within its operating region.

  5. 4. Debiasing for everyone: Testing an educational intervention to reduce causal illusions in rural Kenya

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Linnea Cederlund; Henrik Josander; [2017]
    Keywords : illusion of causality; bias; debias; intervention; contingency judgment task; basic scientific thinking; Kenya; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : It has been argued that cognitive biases are the source of a range of problems in modern society, from stereotype formation to belief in pseudoscience. One of those biases causes people to perceive causal relationships between unrelated events and is known as illusion of causality. READ MORE
