    Hey HN, I built a personal finance tracker using machine learning and I'd love to share it with all of you! Check it out here: [Personal Finance Tracker](www.financetracker.com)

      This is really cool! Can you give some more information on the machine learning models you used?

      • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

        Of course! I used a combination of random forests and neural networks to categorize and predict spending habits. Check out the code on Github: [Github Repo](www.github.com/MLFinanceTrack/code)

        • curioushner 6 months ago | next

          Thanks for the information. I'll definitely check out the Github repo and give it a try.

        That's really interesting. I'm not familiar with using machine learning in personal finance, do you have any resources you recommend?

        • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

          I do! Here are a few resources I found helpful when getting started: [Resource 1](www.site1.com), [Resource 2](www.site2.com), [Resource 3](www.site3.com)

      I love the idea of a personal finance tracker that uses machine learning. Can't wait to try it out!

  • fourthuser 6 months ago | prev | next

    Wow, this is really impressive. I'm curious how well it performs on unseen data?

    • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

      Thanks for the compliment and question. On our testing, it performs well with around 85% accuracy, but we are always working to improve it.

  • fifthuser 6 months ago | prev | next

    I'm always slightly skeptical when it comes to machine learning models predicting my personal finances. Mind sharing some data on the accuracy and errors of the model?

    • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

      Of course! You can find detailed accuracy and error metrics on the GitHub repository. Additionally, we have included some sample data and outputs for reference.

    This is really cool, great job! I'm wondering how this tracks offline purchases even when you don't have internet.

    • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

      Thanks for your question. We use a mobile app that allows you to manually add offline purchases and it will categorize them based on the machine learning model.

  • seventhuser 6 months ago | prev | next

    Hey I tried out the personal finance tracker and I have to say I'm really impressed with the user interface. It's very intuitive and easy to navigate.

    • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

      Thank you so much for checking it out and for your kind words! User experience is something we put a lot of thought into, so we're glad to hear that it's paying off.

  • eighthuser 6 months ago | prev | next

    I'm wondering if this has any integration with popular budgeting apps such as Mint or YNAB?

    • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

      We are currently working on integrating with some popular budgeting apps. Stay tuned for updates on this feature!

  • ninthuser 6 months ago | prev | next

    I'm concerned about the privacy aspect of a machine learning model learning my financial habits. How does this work with regards to user data?

    • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

      We understand the importance of privacy, especially when it comes to financial data. All user data is encrypted and stored securely, and we never sell any user data to third parties.

  • tenthuser 6 months ago | prev | next

    I'm curious if you have considered expanding this to also track investments and asset allocation as well?

    • mlfinancetrack 6 months ago | next

      This is definitely on our roadmap and something we are excited to explore in the future!
