本書是針對大學及其他日本語教育機構初級程度學員所編纂的日本語教科書。 本書最大的特色是：以「JLPTUFS學術性日語Can-do列表（簡稱：AJ Can-do列表）」之初級前半段為基礎指標所編撰。JLPTUFS即為「Japanese Language Program of TUFS」，係針對本校外國留學生所設計的。AJ Can-do列表著重於「學術性日語能力」，目的在於檢視學生使用日語實際能力。所謂「學術性日語能力」是指大學生所應具備的能力，目的為使學生能夠使用日文來閱讀報章雜誌、概論和專業書籍；以及聽解課程內容；進行意見交流和口頭發表、撰寫報告和論文等。同時，也幫助學生養成大學教育所要求的發現問題、分析、解決問題的能力。初級日語課程內容是以日常生活中周遭事物的聽、說、讀、寫為主軸。 本書的目是透過AJ Can-do列表的課題練習，學生在練習基礎句型和詞彙之同時，習得「自我表達能力」及「相互溝通能力」。 本書預設學生在現實生活中遇到的場合與情境，設計登場人物及對話，進而編撰輕鬆的會話內容與課題。在學習項目當中，均分配為「流暢度」及「準確度」，使學生能夠循序漸進地習得內容。　本書出版之際，對照AJ Can-do列表，改編自東京外國語大學留學生日本語教育中心（JLC）編撰的『大学生の日本語Ⅰ・Ⅱ』試用版（2010）。本書的使用方法：1　對象與目標 本書主要是以日本國內外高等教育機構的日語學習者為對象。Vol.1（第1冊）為初級前半，Vol.2（第2冊）為初級後半。本書在「課題（タスク）」當中，編撰了現實或虛擬的情境，藉此展開會話及交流，而這些內容也能應用在現實生活中，裡面包含與大學生活密切相關的多樣化作業、差異文化理解的作業，學習者能藉由作業習得銜接中級與高級的初級句型。 本書目標是透過基本句型、詞彙的學習，以及藉由作業的實作，使學生習得「自我表達能力」及「與他人相互交流的能力」。２　本書的特色本書利用豐富的插圖，老師上課時無需提示，即能引導學生進行實作練習。在學習方面，注重「流暢度」與「準確度」的平衡，採取階段性的學習設計。每一課都附有中文的文法說明，內容請參考本校開發的e-Learning網站JPLANG（https://jplang.tufs.ac.jp/）英文版。除了英文之外，也提供了其它11國語言的文法說明，學習者可以善加利用這些功能來幫助學習。

Many machine learning algorithms require real-valued feature vectors of data instances as inputs. By projecting data into vector spaces, representation learning techniques have achieved promising performance in many areas such as computer vision and natural language processing. There is also a need to learn representations for discrete relational data, namely networks or graphs. Network Embedding (NE) aims at learning vector representations for each node or vertex in a network to encode the topologic structure. Due to its convincing performance and efficiency, NE has been widely applied in many network applications such as node classification and link prediction.This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts, models, and applications of network representation learning (NRL). The book starts with an introduction to the background and rising of network embeddings as a general overview for readers. Then it introduces the development of NE techniques by presenting se
