Visualization 

 Challenge and Selection : 

 The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a shared 

 understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting 

 to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . But , What exactly is visualization ? 

 Visualization or visualisation ( see spelling differences ) is any technique for creating images ,   diagrams , or animations to communicate a message . Visualization through visual imagery has   been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of   humanity . 

 Imagination Has No Limits 

 -   In your imagination , you can see yourself as you wish to be and look , do what you love   to do , and own the possessions you want . 

 -   In your imagination , you can be anything you want , and live the life you want . There   are no limits . 

 -   If you continue visualizing in this way , without neutralizing your dreams by negative   thoughts , you will begin changing your life and making what you imagine come true . 

 Application : 

 I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the 

 straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment .   The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing   materials , GAO or other auditing reports . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal   interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . 

 Insight & Approach : 

 What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic 

 ( especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback ) is important for reinforcing their   understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the   shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space .   The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to   share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they   could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump   starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they   are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead   of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps   them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to   provide the values for the variables .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:

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.
