Structured knowledge for multi-agent academic support: Diverso Lab at the UCA Doctoral Consortium

Noelia López Durán presents her doctoral research at the 6th Doctoral Consortium in Computer Science (University of Cádiz) Our colleague Noelia López Durán recently took part in the 6th Doctoral Consortium in Computer Science of the University of Cádiz, presenting her ongoing doctoral research, "Structured knowledge modeling for multi-agent academic support systems". Representing Diverso Lab, and as part of a joint doctoral collaboration between the University of Seville and the University of Cádiz, Noelia shared the latest advances of her work on intelligent academic support systems based on Large Language Models (LLMs), Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and structured knowledge representations. Her proposal addresses one of the main challenges of applying LLMs in universities: ensuring that generated responses align with institutional regulations, degree requirements and each student's specific academic situation. To achieve…

Diverso Lab at the AI Opportunity Fund event in Seville

Events, Projects

A total of forty students enrolled in vocational training programmes and computing specialisation courses at IES Polígono Sur in Seville took part in an artificial intelligence event organised by Programamos, within the framework of a project funded by the AI Opportunity Fund: Europe, an initiative promoted by Google.org and the Centre for Public Impact. Diverso Lab contributed to the event with an experiment focused on prompt variability, developed in collaboration with José Miguel Horcas, a researcher at the University of Málaga (UMA). The experiment analyses how the way instructions are formulated for artificial intelligence systems influences the results obtained — a line of research with significant implications for the development of AI-based applications.The data collected during the activity will be used to continue improving a proprietary tool currently under development,…

DiversoLab participation in MODEVAR 2026

Events, Projects, Uncategorized

Yesterday, April 29, 2026, our team from the University of Seville presented its work in the International Workshop on Languages for Modelling Variability (MODEVAR 2026). The event, hosted online by TU Braunschweig (Germany), brought together international experts to discuss and advance the field of software variability representation. Feature models have been recognized as one of the main contributions to the Software Product Line community since their invention in 1990. Despite several attempts to establish a standard modelling language (such as OVM, CVL, or TVL), reaching a consensus on a simple and universal feature modelling language remains a challenge. With the goal of facilitating information sharing among researchers, tools, and developers, this year's edition of MODEVAR focused on sharing knowledge about building variability representations and, most importantly, fostering open discussions on…
