Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in video temporal grounding with reinforcement learning for generating reasoning paths. However, existing models often produce superficial reasoning, which offers limited guidance for precise temporal localization.
arXiv:2607. 04872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning temporal localization (RTL) requires a model to generate an answer that itself contains the time interval supporting it, so high-level reasoning and precise temporal grounding must be produced jointly in a single response.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved strong progress in video understanding, yet it remains challenging because the token limitation makes MLLMs difficult to capture temporally sparse evidence. Existing methods typically rely on uniform sampling, or frame selection, but these strategies usually optimize either broad temporal coverage or local relevance, making it difficult to preserve both global storyline context and fine-grained evidence.
