A hybrid model based on CNN-LSTM for assessing the risk of increasing claims in insurance companies

This article proposes a hybrid model to assist insurance companies accurately assess the risk of increasing claims for their premiums. The model integrates long short-term memory (LSTM) networks and convolutional neural networks (CNN) to analyze historical claim data and identify emerging risk trends. We analyzed data obtained from insurance companies and found that the hybrid CNN-LSTM model outperforms standalone models in accurately assessing and categorizing risk levels. The proposed CNN-LSTM model achieved an accuracy of 98.5%, outperforming the standalone CNN (95.8%) and LSTM (92.6%). We implemented 10-fold cross-validation to ensure robustness, confirming consistent performance across different data splits. Furthermore, we validated the model on an external dataset to assess its generalizability. The results demonstrate that the model effectively classifies insurance risks in different market environments, highlighting its potential for real-world applications. Our study contributes to the insurance industry by providing valuable insights for effective risk management strategies and highlights the model's broader applicability in global insurance markets.
