EFlow: Learning Evidence Flow for Long-Video Reasoning with Adaptive Reflection

Long-video reasoning is fundamentally constrained by how models acquire and utilize visual evidence. Existing tool-augmented video frameworks often interleave temporal grounding and answer reasoning within a single trajectory, causing early semantic hypotheses to bias evidence localization. We term this failure mode premature semantic commitment, where biased grounding retrieves incomplete evidence and incomplete evidence further reinforces incorrect reasoning. To address this issue, we propose EFlow, an evidence-first video reasoning framework built upon Qwen3-VL. EFlow explicitly separates temporal grounding and logical reasoning through CoT for Temporal Grounding and CoT for Reasoning, enabling the model to retrieve relevant evidence before answer inference. In addition, EFlow introduces a confidence-aware reflection mechanism that re-evaluates the full video when retrieved evidence is potentially insufficient. We further construct dedicated trajectory datasets and train EFlow through supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and reinforcement fine-tuning. Extensive experiments across five video understanding benchmarks demonstrate that EFlow consistently improves long-video reasoning performance.
