This document discusses Thales' work on implementing deep recurrent neural networks for sequence learning using the Spark framework. It begins by providing context on Thales' large data sources and need for sequence learning. It then discusses recurrent neural networks and challenges training them at scale. The document outlines Thales' Spark implementation of deep learning algorithms, including recurrent layers. Finally, it proposes two potential use cases - predictive maintenance using sensor data sequences, and sentiment analysis of text sequences from social media. The predictive maintenance case study shows recurrent networks outperforming logistic regression, and sentiment analysis experiments demonstrate recurrent networks achieving higher accuracy than other models on larger datasets.
