Challenge & Selection    The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking . Because    Visualization has a role to play throughout the design process or the development    process . Innovation itself has a , has a rich and detailed development process that we    have to follow , from beginning with exploration , moving in through pattern finding .    Kind of peeking with ideation sketching , that 's where we really think about the way    that images come in through prototyping , and finally in the way that we pilot and    scale . Visualization is about using images . It ’s not about drawing ; it ’s about visual    thinking . It pushes us beyond using words or language alone . It is a way of    unlocking a different part of our brains that allows us to think nonverbally and that    managers might not normally use . When you explain an idea using words , the rest    of us will form our own mental pictures , usually informed by our training . When you    say , “ We need a new growth platform , ” the IT specialist sees servers and code and    the marketing guru sees an advertising campaign . If instead you present your idea to    us by drawing a picture of it , you reduce the possibility of unmatched mental    models .    Application    When we 're dealing with very complex problems , we 're enacting a different kind of    problem solving that has to bring in more than just logic . Visualisation is really    important for the process of Design Thinking because it 's actually a way of    unlocking a different part of our brain . It allows us to think in a non - verbal way and    access parts of our brain , our creativity . Most design thinkers call visualisation as    “ the mother of all design tools ” , because they are used in every stage of the design    thinking process .    Visualisation is equal parts listening , thinking and drawing . Listening is the input ,    thinking is the processing and drawing is the output . These three skills work    together equally in understanding complexity , visualising outcomes to create new    possibilities .    The Atlantic , in cooperation with AthenaHealth , produced “ Population Healthier ” as    an in - depth report on an alternative approach to healthcare and medicine :    community health . It takes the form of an extended case study , which is written right    into an amazing data visualization that changes views as you scroll through the    page .    Those same dots , however , are superimposed on 3D renders of the city ’s main    hospitals , creating a sense of consistency in the piece ’s many key visuals .    These visualizations , however , would be greatly impoverished without the report to    which they belong . Indeed , the deeper insights are provided by the prose that    accompanies the data . By pairing each image with the right section of text , both are    enriched . The visual data gain invaluable context , while the prose becomes clearer    and more appealing thanks to the visuals .    All in all , “ Population Healthier ” shows just how effective visual data can be when    created for and presented in a clearly defined context . 

 Insight & Approach    What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while    the graphic – it communicates relationships of the data with images . This is    important because it allows trends and patterns to be more easily seen . With the    rise of big data upon us , we need to be able to interpret increasingly larger batches    of data . Machine learning makes it easier to conduct analyses such as predictive    analysis , which can then serve as helpful visualizations to present . But data    visualization is not only important for data scientists and data analysts , it is    necessary to understand data visualization in any career . Whether you work in    finance , marketing , tech , design , or anything else , you need to visualize data . That    fact showcases the importance of data visualization .      Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning ,    next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of    design thinking activities .

### 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.
