Abstract
In this paper, we evaluate a novel data representation of acoustic signals that builds upon the traditional spectrogram representation through interpolation. The novel representation is used in training a deep Convolutional Neural Network for the task of marine mammal species classification. The resulting classifier is compared in terms of performance to several other classifiers trained on traditional spectrograms.
The following individuals from Jasco Applied Sciences are thanked for their continued support of this project: Bruce Martin, Katie Kowarski, and Briand Gaudet. Additional thanks to Stan Matwin from Dalhousie University. Collaboration between researchers at Jasco Applied Sciences and Dalhousie University was made possible through an NSERC Engage Grant.
