• Abstract: Correct scoring of a driver's risk is of great significance to auto insurance companies. While the current tools used in this field have been proven in practice to be quite efficient and beneficial, we argue that there is still a lot of room for development and improvement in the auto insurance risk estimation process. To this end, we develop a framework based on a combination of a neural network together with a dimensionality reduction technique t-SNE (t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding). This enables us to visually represent the complex structure of the risk as a two-dimensional surface, while still preserving the properties of the local region in the features space. The obtained results, which are based on real insurance data, reveal a clear contrast between the high and low risk policy holders, and indeed improve upon the actual risk estimation performed by the insurer. Due to the visual accessibility of the portfolio in this approach, we argue that this framework could be advantageous to the auto insurer, both as a main risk prediction tool and as an additional validation stage in other approaches.

Empirical studies validate the superiority of our proposed framework against state-of-the-art methods on real-world dataset NGSIM and real AV platform.

• A Risk-Sensitive Approach to Policy Optimization [21.684251937825234]
  Standard deep reinforcement learning (DRL) aims to maximize expected reward, considering collected experiences equally in formulating a policy. We propose a more direct approach whereby risk-sensitive objectives, specified in terms of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the distribution of full-episode rewards, are optimized. We demonstrate that the use of moderately "pessimistic" risk profiles, which emphasize scenarios where the agent performs poorly, leads to enhanced exploration and a continual focus on addressing deficiencies.

  In risk-averse reinforcement learning (RL), the goal is to optimize some risk measure of the returns. We prove that under certain conditions this inevitably leads to a local-optimum barrier, and propose a soft risk mechanism to bypass it. We demonstrate improved risk aversion in maze navigation, autonomous driving, and resource allocation benchmarks.

  Updating risk scores can lead to biased risk estimates. We propose using a holdout set' - a subset of the population that does not receive interventions guided by the risk score. We prove that this approach enables total costs to grow at a rate $Oleft(N2/3right)$ for a population of size $N$, and argue that in general circumstances there is no competitive alternative.

  We show that risk could be characterized by two components: 1) the probability of an undesirable outcome and 2) an estimate of how undesirable the outcome is (loss) We developed a risk-based decision-making framework for the autonomous vehicle that integrates the high-level risk-based path planning with the reinforcement learning-based low-level control. This work can improve safety by allowing an autonomous vehicle to one day avoid and react to risky situations.
