Associate Professor Kristin Stock BSc, GDipSP, GradCertComp, GradDipUrbRegPlan, PhD

Associate Professor in Computer Science and Information Technology

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences

Dr Kristin Stock is an Associate Profssor of Computer Science and Information Technology and has been Director of the Massey Geoinformatics Collaboratory since 2014. She leads the MBIE Funded BioWhere project, developing methods to georeference biological collections and the QuakeCoRE funded QuakeText project, developing methods to map disaster impacts from social media, and was a partner in the MBIE funded He Tatai Whenua project, which developed a Te Ao Māori land classification, and the Earthquake Early Warning project. 

Kristin completed qualifications in surveying (and is a Registered Surveyor), urban and regional planning and computer science before completing a PhD in semantic database integration at Queensland University of Technology. She has worked as a mining, engineering and cadastral surveyor and for the government, designing a land information system for the Australian Capital Territory, and also ran a successful geospatial data consultancy, Allworlds Geothinking, in the UK for several years. Kristin worked as a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham in the UK, before moving to Massey University in 2014. 

While in the UK, Kristin worked on a number of large international projects including editing the Protected Sites theme for the Europe-wide INSPIRE; developing data models for the EU funded MOTiiVE and Metafor projects (with the British Atmospheric Data Centre); leading research aspects of the JISC funded CoMPASS project and the natural language processing activity in the EU funded EUROGEOSS project. Kristin collaborates with researchers internationally and has chaired several conferences and workshops.

Kristin is interested in how location is described in natural language (text and spoken language), and in developing automated methods to understand and georeference complex location descriptions such as:

  • "we need an ambulance at the far end of the carpark, near the public toilets at Metro Park";
  • "the sample was collected on the west bank of the Waikato River, near Hamilton Gardens" or
  • "five buildings have collapsed opposite the SkyTower, next to the church".

Kristin works with machine learning, rule-based and knowledge representation methods to address the multiple challenges related to understanding these kinds of expressions, and also works on methods for extracting cultural ecosystem services information from text, as well as cross-linguistic studies of spatial language. She has also worked with ontologies and semantic integration of data from heterogeneous sources, and addresses a range of application areas, including the natural and built environment and disaster management.

Dr Kristin Stock is Director of the Massey Geoinformatics Collaboratory and Associate Profssor of Computer Science and Information Technology. She has qualifications in surveying, urban and regional planning, computer science and geoinformatics. She has worked in the government and ran a successful geospatial data consultancy in the UK, and worked at the University of Nottingham, before joining Massey in 2014. 

Kristin is interested in how location is described in natural language (text and spoken), and in developing automated methods to understand and georeference complex location descriptions for a range of domains.

Completed Projects

Project Title: SSIF: Social media / big data to solicit preferences and attitudes

This project will investigate the potential uses of social media to collect data on sense of place and cultural ecosystems services. It will include the following: 1.An extensive review of previous work to document success levels and learnings, definitions and metrics used for different aspects of cultural ecosystem services, potential data sources and activities by statistical agencies. 2.A pilot study to evaluate the use of data from photo sharing sites to determine aesthetic value in NZ. 3.A pilot study to evaluate the scraping of content from online sites to collect sense of place data in NZ.

Project Title: He Tatai Whenua: A Te Ao Maori landscape classification

Our research will synthesize a Te Ao Maori landscape classification that can be directly integrated with existing geographical information systems (GIS). We will produce the first indigenous peoples, or Maori metric based Landscape Classification for New Zealand. Despite Maori expert elicitation, or interpretation, of landscape features being well recognised, coherent representation and display of this knowledge is significantly underdeveloped. Data of this kind is still treated as anecdotal or qualitative and, as a result, lacks impact in environmental management and decision-making. In stark contrast, the underlying descriptors and datasets used to classify NZ's environment for decision-making are all displayed in advanced GIS systems utilising cutting edge technology (e.g. geology (Qmap), soils (SMap), bio-diversity (Landcover Database/LENZ), and land use/capability (NZ Land Resource Inventory)). Many of the fundamental methods used to create these datasets are based on frameworks and criteria created through quasi-quantitative methods with no inclusion or recognition of matauranga Maori. This will be achieved through three components: 1. Development of Maori landscape classification criteria based on matauranga Maori, tikanga, kaitiakitanga and tohu taiao from leading Maori academics and Iwi partners 2. Generation of the first Maori Landscape Classification GIS (MLC-GIS) and database using new IT, GIS, remote sensing techniques and mathematical methods to visualise landscapes based on the developed criteria 3. Application of the MLC-GIS alongside existing environmental databases in new catchment management strategies Our research will use the Manawatu catchment to develop the protocols required to extend the proposed Maori Landscape Classification GIS to the whole of NZ. Globally this will be the first time such a dataset will be created. Additionally, new geospatial visualisation methods will be developed that will have significant impact.

Project Title: Developing methods for contextually-aware interpretation of natural language spatial location descriptions - Niloofar Aflaki

The project will develop methods for effective interpretation of natural language spatial location descriptions giving particular attention to the effect of context on that interpretation. For example, a user may be interested in finding 'private property beside the River Welland', or 'the listed building at the corner of the market square'. The meaning of spatial relations are critical to the interpretation of these expressions (e.g. beside, at, on) and in particular, the way sin which context affects their interpretation has been giving limited attention. This project will analyse the role of different levels of context in human interpretation of natural language location descriptions, and develop a model to interpret natural language expressions that incorporate a set of contextual factors using case-based reasoning.
