New webinar on Bias, Fairness, and the Modeling Lifecycle

April 30, 2024

This popular session from the iCAS Data Science & Analytics forum will now be offered as a CAS webinar on May 14. Elizabeth Bellefleur-MacCaul and Craig A. Sloss, PhD, FCAS, FCIA, of Definity Financial Corporation will describe one insurer’s experience with integrating bias and fairness considerations into its predictive modeling plans.

Elizabeth and Craig are members of a Working Group that has been spearheading efforts to increase adoption of bias and fairness checks by their company’s predictive modelling teams. They will share some practices to achieve this goal and demonstrate their use through a case study. Examples of these practices include developing qualitative guidance on when and how to incorporate fairness considerations into a modelling project plan, ensuring that analysts have access to guidance to assist with selecting technical methodologies for detecting bias, and developing supplementary in-house content to facilitate adoption of these tests throughout the model lifecycle.

The webinar will take place May 14, 2024, from 12:00 – 1:30 PM (ET).
