Title:Rough Set Graphical User Interface (RSGUI)
Abstract:Rough Set Graphical User Interface (RSGUI) is an experimental tool for analyzing inconsistent and incomplete data. The system has been progressively developed, implemented, augmented with new algorithms, interfaced to a MySQL based data warehouser and turned into a web application by Laurentian Computer Science students over the last six years. The capabilities of RSGUI will be demonstrated and recent results discussed that establish the benefits of combining rough set decision making with stochastic analysis in mining exceedingly complex and difficult to interpret data sets.

Title: A deterministic model for pricing life insurance Abstract: In this seminar, we will illustrate some fundamental results used by actuaries to calculate the pure premium for a life insurance policy. A brief introduction to interest rate theory, with a subsequent introduction to life table methodology, will provide the necessary framework for deriving the actuarial present value of an annuity and/or future death benefit from which the life insurance premium can be obtained. The presentation will assume no prior knowledge of actuarial theory, and it is hoped that those who attend the seminar will walk away with a better understanding of what Actuarial Science is all about.
