In this paper, a time delay neural network (TDNN) based acoustic model is proposed to implement a fast-converged acoustic modeling for Korean speech recognition. The TDNN has an advantage in fast-convergence where the amount of training data is limited, due to subsampling which excludes duplicated weights. The TDNN showed an absolute improvement of 2.12 rate compared to feed forward neural network (FFNN) based modelling for Korean speech corpora. The proposed model converged 1.67 times faster than a FFNN-based model did.
