Solution

"The Google Earth Engine data catalog offers an easily accessible repository of uniformly formatted landscape and weather data, eliminating the burden of manual data cleansing and ensuring data consistency throughout the analytical and development pipeline," notes Andrew Notohamiprodjo, head of data science at Delos. "Using Google Earth Engine for risk modeling and pre-processing has reduced data preparation time by 80% compared to outsourcing, and the curated data library has significantly accelerated research and product development." To produce the risk models that underlie Delos's underwriting workflows, this data is run through scripts written using Google Colab notebooks, a platform that allows developers to write and execute code directly in their web browser. It then flows into pipelines built on the Vertex AI Platform for model training and deployment.
