arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Web browsing often appears ephemeral: users visit a few websites, complete a task, and move on. However, even short fragments of browsing activity can contain rich and structured behavioral signals. In this work, we conduct a comparative empirical study of two complementary behavioral inference tasks: session-level user identification and next-domain prediction. Both tasks are derived from the same cleaned event stream and evaluated on large-scale anonymous browsing traces, with sessionization and splitting adapted to the temporal requirements of each task. For user identification, we evaluate
