Based on BGNN, we propose a novel approach, called Session-based Recommendation with Global Information (SRGI), which infers the user preferences via fully exploring global item-transitions over all sessions from two different perspectives: (i) Fusion-based Model (SRGI-FM), which recursively incorporates the neighbor embeddings of each node on global graph into the learning process of session level item representation; and (ii) Constrained-based Model (SRGI-CM), which treats the global-level item-transition information as a constraint to ensure the learned item embeddings are consistent with the global item-transition.
