Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) and XGBoost are commonly used in insurance risk pricing and claims prediction. However, Deep Learning (DL) models, like TabNet, are underutilized in this field. This study compares TabNet, XGBoost, and Logistic Regression on claim prediction using a synthetic telematics dataset. TabNet outperforms the other models by providing highly interpretable results and accurately capturing the sparsity of claims data. Despite the longer running time and hyperparameter tuning required, TabNet offers better pricing models for interpretable insurance models compared to XGBoost and Logistic Regression.
Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) and XGBoost are widely used in insurance risk pricing and claims prediction, with GLMs dominant in the insurance industry. The increasing prevalence of connected car data usage in in-surance requires highly accurate and interpretable models. Deep learning (DL) models have outperformed traditional Machine Learning (ML) models in multiple domains; despite this, they are underutilized in insurance risk pricing. This study introduces an alternative DL architecture, TabNet, suitable for insurance telematics datasets and claim prediction. This approach compares the TabNet DL model against XGBoost and Logistic Regression on the task of claim prediction on a synthetic telematics dataset. TabNet outperformed these models, providing highly interpretable results and capturing the sparsity of the claims data with high accuracy. However, TabNet requires considerable running time and effort in hyperparameter tuning to achieve these results. Despite these limitations, TabNet provides better pricing models for interpretable models in insurance when compared to XGBoost and Logistic Regression models.
