SnapToQuery: Providing Interactive Feedback during Exploratory Query Specification

Summary: SnapToQuery interactively “snaps” imprecise mouse, touch, or motion-capture query gestures to likely intended queries learned from logs or data. Data-reduction techniques preserve responsiveness, yielding faster, more accurate specification (up to 2.2× for motion capture). (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
