Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying, in a network environment in which users watch videos that are downloaded or streamed over a network, a video in which a user is likely to be interested based on session context. For example, a server or other computing system identifies prior session contexts in which prior users watched videos and session progress data for prior sessions in which these prior users watched the videos. The server or other computing system determines a session context of a user for whom a video is to be recommended. For this user, the server or other computing system generates a recommendation identifying one or more videos in which the user is likely to be interested, where the user has not previously watched the recommended videos. The recommendation is generated based on the prior session contexts, the session progress data, and the session context of the user.
