Approximately three-quarters of all digital data is recorded in the form of unstructured texts.

When you think of the word “design,” what do you imagine? City planners choosing the layout of a city or roadway network? Maybe it’s trying to figure out the best shape and material for the ultimate water bottle? For some people, when they think of design, they think of project-based collaborations and human-centered co-design, and human-centered design thinking.
