Starting from more than 11,200 short-period (less than 0.5 days) EW-type eclipsing binary candidates with the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) V-band light curves, we use MCMC and neural networks (NNs) to obtain the mass ratio (q), orbital inclination (incl), fill-out factor (f) and temperature ratio (Ts/Tp). After cross-matching with the Gaia DR3 database, the final sample contains parameters of 2,399 A-type and 8,712 W-type contact binaries (CBs). We present the distributions of parameters of these 11,111 short-period CBs. The mass ratio (q) and fill-out factor (f) are found to obey log-normal distributions, and the remaining parameters obey normal distributions. There is a significant period-temperature correlation of these CBs. Additionally, the temperature ratio (Ts/Tp) tends to increase as the orbital period decreases for W-type CBs. There is no significant correlation between them for A-type CBs. The mass ratio and fill-out factor (q−f) diagram suggest there is no significant correlation between these two parameters. A clear correlation exists between the mass ratio and radius ratio. The radius ratio increases with the mass ratio. Moreover, the deep fill-out CBs tend to fall on the upper boundary of the q−Rs/Rp distribution, while the shallow fill-out CBs fall on the lower boundary.
