• Authors: Marie-Pier Cote, Brian Hartman, Olivier Mercier, Joshua Meyers, Jared Cummings, Elijah Harmon
• Abstract summary: We show how to design three types of generative adversarial networks (GANs) that can build a synthetic insurance dataset from a confidential original dataset. For transparency, the approaches are illustrated using a public dataset, the French motor third party liability data. We find that the MC-WGAN-GP synthesizes the best data, the CTGAN is the easiest to use, and the MNCDP-GAN guarantees differential privacy.

• Abstract: Due to confidentiality issues, it can be difficult to access or share interesting datasets for methodological development in actuarial science, or other fields where personal data are important. We show how to design three different types of generative adversarial networks (GANs) that can build a synthetic insurance dataset from a confidential original dataset. The goal is to obtain synthetic data that no longer contains sensitive information but still has the same structure as the original dataset and retains the multivariate relationships. In order to adequately model the specific characteristics of insurance data, we use GAN architectures adapted for multi-categorical data: a Wassertein GAN with gradient penalty (MC-WGAN-GP), a conditional tabular GAN (CTGAN) and a Mixed Numerical and Categorical Differentially Private GAN (MNCDP-GAN). For transparency, the approaches are illustrated using a public dataset, the French motor third party liability data. We compare the three different GANs on various aspects: ability to reproduce the original data structure and predictive models, privacy, and ease of use. We find that the MC-WGAN-GP synthesizes the best data, the CTGAN is the easiest to use, and the MNCDP-GAN guarantees differential privacy.

  Large language models (LLM) have been used for diverse tasks, but do not capture the correct correlation between the features and the target variable. We propose a LLM-based method with three important improvements to correctly capture the ground-truth feature-class correlation in the real data. Our experiments show that our method significantly outperforms 10 SOTA baselines on 20 datasets in downstream tasks.
