Reflection – Mind Mapping 

 Challenge & Selection 

 As a data scientist , it is very essential to decipher the complexity of the relationships between 

 the variables in the data as the discovery of insights is one of the most significant tasks in 

 data science to generate values for businesses . The collaborative nature of the development of 

 data science solutions necessitate the aligned thinking of a group of data scientists in which 

 combined creativity of the data scientists are required to uncover the insights in large and 

 highly complex data . However , the absence of an creativity driven structured approach to 

 integrate the creativity of a group of data scientist impede the discovery of meaningful 

 analysis outcomes as the traditional collaboration technique is time inefficient . Therefore , 

 mind mapping tool is selected to innovate the collaborations between data scientists in 

 analysing large volume of data as it is one of the most power tools in the design thinker ’s 

 toolbox which is expected to drive creativity in designing customer - centric data solutions . 

 Application 

 The founder of IDEO , David Kelley said that make a list when doing something analytical 

 and make a mind map when doing something creative . Therefore , to induce creativity in the 

 analytical process in data science , I start by transforming the hierarchical analytical 

 procedures into a flatter mind map to develop a common ground and initiate creativity for the 

 data science team . An elementary mind map comprises the analysis objectives and 

 procedures is created using stick notes on the whiteboard to facilitate the data science team in 

 integrating and synergize the essential analytical components to generate creative data 

 solutions . For the data science team , the mind map acts as a tree with empty branches in 

 which they are invited to combine their efforts to decorate the ‘ tree ’ with their creative and 

 customer - centric thoughts . 

 A set of stationery such as scissors , sticky notes and markers with different colours are 

 provided to motivate the team to creatively express their ideas by leveraging different 

 visualizations to express their ideas in addition to textual contributions . In addition , I posted a 

 question on the white board to encourage the participation of the team by asking the team 

 what they would do if anything is possible . Consequently , a very colourful ‘ tree ’ is developed 

 in which the data science team is motivated to freely express their thoughts . The mind map 

 empowers the data science team to incorporate creativity into the traditional analytical 

 processes as the resources which includes mind map and stationery are provided to initiate 

 the creativity thinking of the team . 

 Insights 

 The designing of the data science solutions is often time inefficient due to the absence of an 

 appropriate design thinking tool to generate the integrated creativity of many talented data 

 scientists in the team despite the existence of many structured analytical procedures . 

 However , the implementation of the mind map improves the process of designing data 

 science solutions as it organizes and integrates the individual inputs in the team . The 

 implementation of the mind map technique empowers the induction of creativity in the 

 traditional data science workflow as it facilitates the team to communicate through 

 visualization in addition to the textual communication . The mind map motivates the team to 

 creatively express the essence of their ideas though visualization instead of a full - length 

 report to explain the ideas . The mind map successfully stimulates high participation rate as 

 the ‘ tree ’ belongs to the team instead of a particular individual . Therefore , the data science 

 team perceived the mind map as a collaborative effort which encouraged them to participate 

 in the process of developing the mind map . In addition , the mind map technique triggers the 

 expression of many novel ideas in analysing large volume of data to produce business values 

 as the technique eliminates the burden of generating strictly applicable strategies . 

 Approach 

 The generation of novel data driven solutions is significant in pushing the limits of innovation 

 in solving real - life problems with data science . However , it is equally significant to examine 

 the practicability of the novel ideas prior to the execution of the ideas in business 

 environment involving huge investments . The mind map technique empowers the data 

 science team to answer 2 of the 4 important questions in design thinking , namely ‘ what if ’ 

 and ‘ what wows ’ . However , it is essential to combine mind map and learning launch tools to 

 facilitate the induction of creativity in data science workflow and determine which novel idea 

 works . Therefore , I would combine mind map and learning launches approaches in the next 

 creativity generation exercise to answer the last significant question in the big 4 questions of 

 design thinking , namely ‘ what works ’ as this facilitates the determination of which novel idea 

 to implement and scale up in the business environment .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
