PROFILE

David Whyatt

Worked on the music-computing/amads repository, delivering two core features over two months focused on algorithmic musicology and reproducible analytics. Developed the M-Type Melody Tokenizer and feature extraction utilities in Python, consolidating FANTASTIC toolbox implementations to streamline melody analysis workflows. Enhanced the MelSim module by refactoring R integration and dependency management, reducing installation friction and supporting CI-friendly deployments. Added demonstration scripts to showcase melodic similarity calculations, including batch processing and multiple transformations, improving onboarding and validation. The work emphasized code refactoring, data analysis, and robust dependency management, laying a foundation for future model integration and more efficient downstream analytics.

In August 2025, delivered a targeted upgrade to the MelSim component in the amads repository to strengthen R package dependency management and improve user onboarding. Key work included refactoring the melsim module to streamline dependency handling and installation, and adding demonstration scripts that showcase melodic similarity calculations with batch processing and multiple transformations. Also enhanced the R package installation workflow and documentation to support CI-friendly, reproducible deployments. A temporary fix for MelSim integration was implemented to stabilize workflows while longer-term improvements are developed. Business value includes reduced setup friction, faster validation, and improved reproducibility for downstream analytics.
