澳大與氣象局簽署合作協議 加強人工智能於氣象災害應用
為進一步提升氣象災害的監測及預報預警能力，加強人工智能技術於氣象災害中的應用，澳門特別行政區政府地球物理暨氣象局局長梁永權與澳門大學校長宋永華共同簽署《澳門大學與澳門地球物理暨氣象局合作框架協議》，雙方期望以澳大智慧城市物聯網國家重點實驗室為平台，充分發揮彼此在氣象預報預警、城市公共安全及災害防治領域的優勢，攜手為澳門建設智慧型韌性城市提供技術支撐。
澳大近年在颱風、極端暴雨等濱海城市防災減災領域已取得顯著進展，澳大智慧城市物聯網國家重點實驗室亦已開發澳門城市水災害模擬平台，並基於特徵融合的寬度學習系統開發了高效的颱風識別模型。是次簽署作為長期合作機制的良好開端，雙方將攜手在風暴潮、海嘯、氣象監測預測、人工智能及機器學習的技術應用、業務預報系統研究開發、災害風險評估、監測儀器設備及人員交流互訪等方面展開務實的合作，並積極實現各類監測預報資料的共享應用，推進高校科技成果落地應用，共同提升雙方的科研及業務水平，強化澳門氣象及海洋防災減災的能力。
是次簽署於雙方代表團見證下在澳大進行，同時開展首場交流座談，共同就首階段的合作進行探討及交流。此外，雙方亦實地參觀澳大智慧城市物聯網國家重點實驗室，以進一步瞭解有關實驗室的運作及科研水平。

UM, SMG sign cooperation agreement to enhance AI application in meteorological disaster management
To enhance Macao’s capabilities to monitor and forecast meteorological disasters and to promote the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in meteorological disaster management, Yonghua Song, rector of the University of Macau (UM), and Leong Weng Kun, director of the Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) of the Macao SAR Government, signed a framework agreement on cooperation between UM and SMG. The two parties hope to utilise UM’s State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City as a platform to leverage their respective strengths in weather forecasting, early warning systems, urban public safety and disaster prevention, as well as to jointly provide technological support to develop Macao into a smart and resilient city.
According to the agreement, UM and SMG will collaborate in various areas, including monitoring and forecasting storm surges, tsunamis, and weather conditions, as well as the application of AI and machine learning technologies. They will also focus on research and development of operational forecast systems, risk assessment of disasters, instruments and equipment used in meteorological monitoring, as well as personnel exchange. The two parties will also actively share different types of monitoring and forecasting information. The agreement signing ceremony was held at UM, followed by an exchange session where both parties explored the first phase of cooperation.
