SQuID: Semantic Similarity-Aware Query Intent Discovery
Summary: SQuID discovers user intent from a few example tuples via semantic similarity and data-driven associations beyond surface structure. An interactive demo shows the semantic context and lets users refine results through feedback, no schema or SQL required. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
