Interesting project! Can you share more about how the machine learning models are predicting future expenses and savings?

Sure! We're using time-series forecasting models to predict future expenses based on past data. We also take into account any trends and patterns in the user's spending habits.

We've experimented with LSTM's but have found them to be overkill for this specific application. We might revisit that decision as we continue to refine the models.

Nice! Have you tried using any deep learning techniques for the predictions? I think LSTM's could be interesting to try.

Interesting, I'm not as familiar with time-series forecasting. Do you have any resources or papers you would recommend for learning more about this technique?

Yes! I would recommend checking out Hyndman and Athanasopoulos's book,
