The recent years saw an extensive use of 3D point cloud data for heritage documentation, valorisation and visualisation. Although rich in metric quality, these 3D data lack structured information such as semantics and hierarchy between parts. In this context, the introduction of point cloud classification methods can play an essential role for better data usage, model definition, analysis and conservation. The paper aims to extend a machine learning (ML) classification method with a multi-level and multi-resolution (MLMR) approach.

Estimation of future mortality rates still plays a central role among life insurers in
pricing their products and managing longevity risk. In the literature on mortality modeling, a wide
number of stochastic models have been proposed, most of them forecasting future mortality
rates by extrapolating one or more latent factors. The abundance of proposed models shows that
forecasting future mortality from historical trends is non-trivial. Following the idea proposed in

Longevity risk management is an area of the life insurance business where the use of
Artificial Intelligence is still underdeveloped. The paper retraces the main results of the
recent actuarial literature on the topic to draw attention to the potential of Machine
Learning in predicting mortality and consequently improving the longevity risk quantification
and management, with practical implication on the pricing of life products
with long-term duration and lifelong guaranteed options embedded in pension contracts

This paper follows the recent literature on real estate price prediction and proposes to take advantage of machine learning techniques to better explain which variables are more important in describing the real estate market evolution. We apply the random forest algorithm on London real
estate data and analyze the local variables that influence the interaction between housing demand, supply and price. The variables choice is based on an urban point of view, where the main force driving the market is the interaction between local factors like population growth, net migration,

Increased life expectancy in developed countries has led researchers to pay more attention to mortality projection to anticipate changes in mortality rates. Following the scheme proposed in Deprez et al. (Eur Actuar J 7(2):337–352, 2017) and extended by Levantesi and Pizzorusso (Risks 7(1):26, 2019), we propose a novel approach based on the combination of random forest and two-dimensional P-spline, allowing for accurate mortality forecasting.
