Topdanmark's Machine Learning Center of Excellence Infuses a Model-driven Competitive Advantage in Insurance
Recorded: NVIDIA GTC, November, 2021
TopDanmark’s Head of Machine Learning Stig Pederson and Domino CEO Nick Elprin discuss how Topdanmark, one of Denmark’s largest insurers, is infusing models throughout operations for fraud detection, policy approvals, and risk management — improving customer experience for a competitive advantage. They’ll discuss what it takes to become model-driven by removing process and technology bottlenecks for unobstructed data science innovation.
Nick will share best practices from G2000 organizations who’ve implemented Enterprise MLOps platforms to centralize and scale data science efforts. Learn about:
- Infrastructure and technology decisions that data science and IT leaders should consider while building an MLOps strategy.
- The business value Topdanmark is seeing in integrating models and leading-edge technology like natural language processing into insurance industry use cases
- First-hand advice on scaling a machine learning center of excellence to manage the full data science life cycle.
