This paper proposes a modified posterior decoding algorithm to solve hidden Markov models decoding problem based on MapReduce paradigm and spark’s resilient distributed dataset (RDDs) concept, for large-scale data processing. The objective of this work is to improve the performances of HMM to deal with big data challenges. The proposed algorithm shows a great improvement in reducing time complexity and provides good results in terms of running time, speedup, and parallelization efficiency for a large amount of data, i.e., large states number and large sequences number.</span>
