This webinar investigates whether the neural scaling laws driving Large Language Model advancements apply to actuarial ratemaking. Utilizing a 4.5-million-record motor insurance dataset, we demonstrate that power-law performance improvements do exist for tabular data, though they are highly dependent on model architecture.
Speakers will present empirical evidence showing that while standard Transformers exhibit weak parameter scaling, "TabM" architectures and Transformers augmented with self-supervised learning achieve superior results in large-data regimes. The presentation covers the identification of distinct data regimes—from GLM-efficient small datasets to deep learning-dominated large datasets—and introduces novel architectural enhancements like multi-CLS pooling and TokenMoE.
Learning Objectives:
- Quantify the relationship between data volume, compute resources, and model performance in actuarial ratemaking using empirical power-law scaling relationships.
- Identify the optimal modeling strategy for distinct data regimes, distinguishing when traditional GLMs suffice and when advanced architectures like TabM or TokenMoE are required to maximize predictive accuracy.
- Apply specific architectural enhancements - such as multi-CLS pooling and swap-style self-supervision - that enable Transformer models to overcome weak parameter scaling on noisy tabular datasets.

CAS Continuing Education Policy
The CAS Continuing Education Policy applies to all ACAS and FCAS members who provide Actuarial Services. Actuarial Services are defined in the CAS Code of Professional Conduct as “professional services provided to a Principal by an individual acting in the capacity of an actuary. Such services include the rendering of advice, recommendations, findings or opinions based upon actuarial considerations.” Members who are or could be subject to the continuing education requirements of a national actuarial organization can meet the requirements of the CAS Continuing Education Policy by satisfying the continuing education requirements established by a national actuarial organization recognized by the Policy. For further information regarding the CAS Continuing Education Policy please visit the CAS web site.
CAS Webinars may qualify for up to 1.8* CE Credits for CAS members. Participants should claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. CAS members following the USQS earn 1 CE Credit per 50 minutes of educational session time, not to include breaks and/or lunch. *The amount of CE credit that can be earned for participating in this activity must be assessed by the individual attendee. It also may be different for individuals who are subject to the requirements of organizations other than the Casualty Actuarial Society.
