There exist many research works that strive to answer the question “what news article is a user going to click next given his profile”. These works take into account the time dimension to reveal users’ preferences over time. However, few works exploit adequately the information that is hidden inside user sessions. User sessions include a list of user interactions with items within a short period of time such as 30 min, and can reveal her very last intentions. In this paper, we combine intra- with inter-session item transition probabilities to reveal the short- and long-term intentions of individuals. Thus, we are able to better capture the similarities among items that are co-selected inside a user session but also within any two consecutive sessions. We have evaluated experimentally our method and compare it against state-of-the-art algorithms on three real-life datasets. We demonstrate the superiority of our method over its competitors.
