EQUI-VOCAL: Synthesizing Queries for Compositional Video Events from Limited User Interactions

Summary: EQUI-VOCAL synthesizes compositional video-event queries from a handful of positive/negative examples, using active learning rather than declarative specs or sketches. Its spatio-temporal scene-graph language and noise-robust synthesis outperform baselines in F1, speed, and flexibility. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
