EQUI-VOCAL Demonstration: Synthesizing Video Queries from User Interactions
Summary: EQUI-VOCAL synthesizes compositional, declarative video queries via few-shot user inputs (few positives/negatives) plus selective sampling of additional labels, enabling retrieval of complex events without manual query construction. Demo provides a GUI for hands-on query synthesis and exploration of hyperparameter and label-noise effects on retrieval performance. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
