To improve the performance of automatic speech recognition in noisy environments, the convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with time-delay neural network (TDNN) is introduced, which is referred as CNN-TDNN. The CNN-TDNN model is further optimized by factoring the parameter matrix in the time-delay neural network hidden layers and adding a time-restricted self-attention layer after the CNN-TDNN hidden layers. Experimental results show that the optimized CNN-TDNN model has better performance than DNN, CNN, TDNN, and CNN-TDNN. The average recognition word error rate (WER) can be reduced by 11.76% when comparing with the baselines.
