Over two months, Smyther developed and maintained model training pipelines for the lanl/Yoke repository, focusing on the LSC action network. He centralized training resources, cleaned deprecated scripts, and improved documentation to enhance reproducibility and onboarding. Using Python, PyTorch, and SLURM, Smyther introduced parameter tuning and CNN architecture updates, including a step learning rate scheduler, to support more efficient experimentation. His work emphasized code quality through systematic code cleanup, removal of unused configuration parameters, and standardization of job submission processes. These efforts reduced operational risk, improved maintainability, and established a foundation for reliable, scalable machine learning workflows in high-performance environments.

In May 2025, maintenance and code quality improvements were delivered for the lanl/Yoke repository, focusing on code cleanup and configuration hygiene to reduce operational risk and accelerate future feature work. No critical bugs were reported; the work prioritized readability, maintainability, and stable training configurations to support longer-term business value.
