Parker, Chair Feature representation has been one of the most important factors for the success of machine learning algorithms. Since 2006, deep learning has been widely considered for various problems in different disciplines and, most of the time, has reset state-of-the-art results | thanks to its excellent ability to learn highly abstract representations of data. I focus on extracting additional structural features in network analysis and natural language processing (NLP) | via learning novel vector-based representations, usually known as embeddings. For network analysis, I propose to learn representations for nodes, node embeddings, for social network applications. The embeddings are computed using attributes and links of nodes in the network. Experimental studies on community detection and mining tasks suggest that node embeddings can further reveal deeper structure of the network. For NLP, I address the learning of representations at three levels: words, word relations, and linguistic expressions. First, I propose to extend the standard word embedding training process into two phases, treating context as second order in nature.
