Project snapshot:

Claims fraud detection

The situation:

Liberty’s Central Fraud Hub needed a better performance risk model to evaluate the risk of property claims fraud.

The solution:

A data science intern built a brand new property risk model leveraging statistical and machine learning expertise that identified stronger internal metrics and increased hit rate.

The impact:

An enhanced approach to identify fraudulent claims and potentially generate significant business savings.

Project snapshot:

Identifying tree hazard and property risk

The situation:

Liberty needed a scalable way to detect overhanging trees in customer property photos, a key indicator of property risk.

The solution:

A data science intern built an app using neural networking to predict the probability of overhanging trees in property images, combining external photos with detailed roof and structural images using feature extraction and classification modeling.

The impact:

A machine learning tool that helps Liberty better assess and price property risk at scale.

Project snapshot:

Talent analytics

The situation:

Liberty needed a smarter way to generate internal job recommendations for employees.

The solution:

A data science intern improved a classical collaborative filtering recommendation framework through machine learning, then compared employee movement patterns against the recommender system to evaluate model performance.

The impact:

A more sophisticated, data-driven approach to internal talent mobility.

Working in the Data Science field at Liberty Mutual is an intellectually stimulating experience. The problems we tackle are complex and require a deep understanding of data and analytical tools to arrive at effective solutions. This keeps me engaged and motivated to continually develop my skills and knowledge. In addition, the collaborative and friendly environment makes the experience all the more enjoyable.
