Abstract
In recent years generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been used to supplement datasets within the field of marine bioacoustics. This is driven by factors such as the cost to collect data, data sparsity and aid preprocessing. One notable challenge with marine bioacoustic data is the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) posing difficulty when applying deep learning techniques such as GANs. This work investigates the effect SNR has on the audio-based GAN performance and examines three different evaluation methodologies for GAN performance, yielding interesting results on the effects of SNR on GANs, specifically WaveGAN.
