Studying the longitudinally polarized fraction of $W^\pm W^\pm$ scattering at the LHC is crucial to examine the unitarization mechanism of the vector boson scattering amplitude through Higgs and possible new physics. We apply here for the first time a Deep Neural Network classification to extract the longitudinal fraction. Based on fast simulation implemented with the Delphes framework, significant improvement from DNN is found to be achievable and robust over all dijet mass region. A conservative estimation shows that a high significance of four standard deviations can be reached with the HL-LHC designed luminosity of 3000 $fb^{-1}$
