Abstract:
The objective of the thesis is to build a recommendation system for insurance. By observing the behavior and the evolution of a customer in the insurance context, customers seem to modify their insurance cover when a significant event happens in their life. In order to take into account the influence of life events (e.g. marriage, birth, change of job) on the insurance covering selection from customers, we model the recommendation system with a Multivariate Hawkes Process, which includes several specific features aiming to compute relevant recommendations to customers from a Luxembourgish insurance company.
