The future for data mining looks very promising as moment by moment, data is only increasing. Did you know that during 2020, accumulated digital data will grow to around 44 zettabytes and 1.7 megabytes of new information is created per second for every person around the world?

Just as mining techniques have evolved thanks to improvements in technology, so have those technologies that extract valuable information from data. Once upon a time, only organizations such as NASA could use their supercomputers to analyze data; the cost of storing and computing data was too high. 

Companies are currently doing all sorts of interesting things with machine learning, artificial intelligence and deep learning with cloud-based data lakes. That’s the case of LISA Insurtech!

The Internet of Things and wearable technology have turned people and devices into data-generating machines that can generate unlimited knowledge about people and organizations. This is how companies can collect, store and analyze a wealth of information.

Cloud-based analytics solutions will make it more practical and cost-effective for organizations to access massive data and computing resources. Cloud computing helps companies quickly gather data from sales, marketing, Internet, production and inventory systems, and other sources, and act on it to improve the bottom line.

What should companies look like to get the most value from data mining? They should select a platform that:

• Incorporate best practices for the industry or type of project. Healthcare organizations, for example, have different needs than insurance companies.
• Manage the entire data mining lifecycle, from data exploration to production.
• Align with enterprise applications, including BI, CRM, ERP, financial and other enterprise software with which it must interoperate for maximum ROI.
• Integrates with leading open source languages, providing developers and data scientists with the flexibility and collaboration tools to create innovative applications.
• Meets the needs of IT, data scientists and analysts while serving the reporting and visualization needs of business users.

Why is data mining so important for the insurance industry?

One of the most important assets for the insurance industry is your information and what we can do with it.

We can analyze, understand and implement plans to offer better products, services and personalized attention to each and every customer.

Understanding that industries are changing with the current technological avalanche, forces us to move quickly to keep up with what our old and new customers want. LISA Insurtech has the necessary experience to accompany traditional insurance companies in their digital transformation.

Hi! We are glad to have you back on our blog 💜. In fact, we are excited for you to read the second part of the previous article on Big Data.

In today’s quote we will take a look at some examples of Big data. Are you ready? Let’s get to it. 😎

Where does the data come from?

In the previous article, we talked about what Big data is and some of its characteristics, but we didn’t mention an important point, the data! Where does it come from, or where do we get it from?

Data is basically generated from everywhere. Especially if you are connected to the internet, where it is possible to capture every click given (and every click not given), as well as all the texts that are generated. From this we save that there is structured and unstructured information.

On the other hand, IoT (Internet of Things) is a great source of data collection. Currently almost all products of daily use, such as cars, watches, cameras, voice assistants, among others, can be connected to the Internet (so they can generate data on each person in real time).

For example

Nike has a line of products that monitor the data generated from exercise. Apple has something very similar with the Apple Watch.

Fields of application of Big Data.

According to Platzi’s article, there are an infinite number of fields of Big Data application, so, let’s see how your company can benefit from it:

• In the digital world, all information can be recorded and processed in real time. So from user information, personalized offers can be displayed for groups with common behaviors.
• User behavior analytics to create and improve the functionalities of a platform according to what the user does.
• A very interesting application is to avoid fraud in things like identity theft or card cloning.
• A well studied field is text mining for natural language processing (NLP). From this there are a lot of applications such as: sentiment analysis in marketing or the automatic classification of problems in the customer support department, with each complaint reaching the appropriate team.
• Calculate the commercial potential of different geographical areas in order to open new stores without affecting the sales of others. In the same sense, it also works the other way around to know when to close a store.
• For banking, many risk analyses are made to know which clients can be admitted or rejected, which credits can be approved or not, and even the analysis of the clients’ portfolio to constantly analyze the aforementioned in case something changes in their credit history.
• In a call center it could help to know which customers to call, at what times and what kind of promotions can be made to them.
• It is easy to make a very precise customer segmentation to send them personalized campaigns, build customer loyalty and prevent them from leaving the company.
• It is also possible to identify problems before they happen and take actions to solve them before they even exist.

Big data + Insurance industry

At LISA Insurtech, we are specialists in the use of the most current and innovative technology😎 This with the aim of offering the insurance industry the impetus to evolve.

Our application cases contemplate almost all of the above list:

• We record all the information of the insured in real time to guarantee the insurance company possible customizable offers.
• We track how the client acts in front of the platform in order to improve it according to how the insured «moves».
• NLP is one of our greatest foundations, with it we make follow-ups and analysis to make decisions.
• We contribute to risk and fraud analysis.
• We are able to identify problems before they occur, which leads to a decrease in claims thanks to telemetry.

Surely many questions are going through your mind right now: What is Big data? What are its functions? How do I apply it?

But… Don’t worry, in this article you will learn everything you need to know about Big data to be able to apply it in real life and in business.

Let’s get started!

What is Big data?

It is a concept where we refer to large volumes of data that are varied and fast (in fact they are very difficult to capture and process with traditional methods).

Thanks to Platzi’s article, we know that for us to be able to say that something is Big data, the data must comply with the 5v:

In this same sense, when there is a large amount of data, structured or unstructured, that is arriving very fast, in real time and is very varied, it is impossible to analyze all the information on a single machine. That is why the information must be split into small parts, among several machines.

From what size is it considered to be working with Big Data?

The truth is that it is not something that is fully defined. Some people in the industry say it can vary from 30 Terabytes (TB) to several Pentabytes (PB).

It is possible to do analytics or Data Science without using Big Data, in fact, it is the most common. Also, the term Big data has been used by many companies since it became popular for marketing, but it is not really used.

Hasn’t it ever happened to you that you are browsing social networks and you get an advertisement for a product you’ve been wanting to buy? It sounds creepy and maybe we feel spied on, but the truth is that this is possible thanks to Big data and the capture of a large amount of data by a company.

How big data works

The simplest explanation is that, if you have a lot of information that cannot be processed in a single computer or server, it is divided into several chunks (smaller pieces of information) and then sent to many smaller machines.

In this way, each node is in charge of solving only its corresponding part and then the information from all the nodes is joined again and a single unified output (result) is launched. All these nodes work and are connected in parallel and are known as clusters.

What is Big data for?

Big Data is very useful, both for companies and for improving people’s quality of life. That is why it helps to understand problems, give them a solution and even predict what could happen in the future (in alternative scenarios).

The importance is not in the amount of data we may have, but in what can be done with it. By mixing Big Data with Data Science, predictive analytics (predicting the future, or at least its probability) can be done.

After all that you have seen, Big Data can be summarized in a series of benefits for companies:

Significant cost reduction, better decision making based on real-time data, increased profits, reduced time, customized services and much more.

With our flagship product, LISA Claims, it is possible to achieve all of the above. This, with the purpose of revolutionizing the insurance industry and making the insurance industry, a more innovative sector 😎.

Is there one injection that is better than another? These are some of the questions we all ask ourselves most frequently in the face of the uncertainty and stress we have been under since this whole movie nightmare began.

The reality is that there are currently different vaccines that, although they do not make us totally immune to the virus, have greater or lesser effectiveness and a totally different way of working.

What are the most commonly used vaccines today?

In the case of Chile, there are three vaccines approved for administration, Pfizer/BioNTech, Sinovac and Oxford/AstraZeneca, according to information shared by La Tercera on its website.

In the same vein, others used worldwide are: Moderna, Sinopharm and Sputnik V.

What are they like?

01. Sinovac: based on the injection of the inactivated virus into the body. It is known that this vaccine has an efficacy of 91.25% in view of the results obtained in the last phases of the trials carried out in China, as confirmed by the web portal www.vacunas.org.

02. Pfizer: it involves introducing a messenger RNA into the body, which will be responsible for encoding the virus. This vaccine has an efficacy of 95% and was to be applied in two doses. However, it recently became known that a third booster will be required, as reported by Ugur Sahin, co-founder of the German company BioNTech and reported in the BBC News portal.

03. Astra-Zeneca: it is based on the genetic instructions of the virus to build the spike protein and unlike the other two vaccines, this one uses double helix DNA. Simply put: the cell envelops the virus in a bubble and draws it into itself. This vaccine is 79% effective.

It is known that most Latin American countries have already started the vaccination process, but there are others where the doses have not even reached their territory. Some of these countries are: Uruguay, Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, this is what BBC News points out on its website.

To get vaccinated or not? It is one of the best methods to be more protected, that is to say, it does not mean that we will be totally immune to the virus but less compromised in case of infection. Even if you are vaccinated you should still maintain your protection with a mask, social distancing and constant hand washing.

Don’t let your guard down!

The insurance industry has been characterized by offering in the vehicle branch, insurance based on linking the costs of these with the way in which a vehicle operates.

Equipment managers can benefit from telemetry data from their heavy duty trucks, as the data can be used to train operators and drivers to improve and change their behaviors:

It allows remote control of processes such as the location of a vehicle, fuel consumption, load status, performance, safety factors, among many others.

Fleets that reduce behaviors that lead to accidents may be able to reduce the frequency (plus associated costs) of accidents and eventually lower their construction equipment insurance premiums.

By collecting data using telematics, current and real-time feedback can be obtained to help identify risky driving behaviors and enable drivers to be trained to improve their performance.

Most relevant characteristics:

1. Contributes to the reduction of claims: by maintaining the interconnection of ioT devices with a main central, alerts of all kinds can be issued in the event of any suspicion. This favors both insurers and their policyholders.

2. Savings on supplies: the systems provide immediate information on the status of the truck, allow programing routes and monitor driving conditions to save fuel and prevent failures due to malfunctions.

The transport company may have precise data on the location, route and speed of the vehicle, fuel consumption, driving mode or stopping times. This will make it easier to manage operator performance.

3. Safety: telemetry is capable of reducing road accidents by 57%, making this technology a strategic ally to minimize costs and optimize processes.

Currently 84% of large companies use Artificial Intelligence and estimate that by 2020 the total number of companies will adopt Machine Learning as a user experience optimizer (UX).

In LISA Insurtech, this is one of our biggest challenges, to delight our clients (Insurers) and their clients (Insured), that is why we have a specialized area in UX, the previous thing since according to a study carried out by Tata Consultancy Services ( TCS) companies that have already invested in Artificial Intelligence, are now seeing the fruits, since they have increased their profits by 25% and reduced their costs by 20%.

Machine Learning is one of the applications of AI that gives systems the ability to automatically learn and improve the experience without having to be programmed, in addition to controlling at the top of the evaluation that avoid late analysis.

One of the main objectives of Machine Learning is to know in detail the behavior of users, and in this way to detect how to improve the user experience (UX or User Experience). In this article we will talk about 2 ways in which Machine Learning focuses on optimizing the user experience.

– Predictive data analysis

The recommendation systems based on Machine Learning algorithms offer a beneficial value for the users and, in the case of the insurance industry, they can predict their attrition rate, Fraud, purchase intention and others.

On the other hand, predictive analyzes help us to better understand the needs of users, which allows us to develop different products and services as it allows us to customize the offer to specific needs.

– Learn from the results

Machine Learning allows us to make changes in real time in the actions of the insured and anticipate their needs. On the other hand, learning from the results will allow us to grow and develop skills that will benefit us in the future.

Thanks to Machine Learning we can plan the company’s resources, develop predictive systems on customer behavior and customize communications, generating greater value in users.

In this era, technology is responsible for optimizing processes. What do you expect to integrate Machine Learning as a user experience optimizer (UX) to your company and increase your profits and reduce your costs?

In LISA we use this and other high-level technologies to add value to the industry, thanks to this type of tools we reduce the operating cost of claims management by 60%, do you want to know more ?, Contact us!
