Researchers have developed EcoFrame, a novel framework designed to improve the efficiency of long video understanding in vision-language models (VLMs). Unlike previous methods that use static frame selection or costly multi-round reasoning, EcoFrame adapts its evidence gathering process based on the VLM's inference feedback. It employs entropy-gated budget scheduling to dynamically adjust the frame budget and attention-guided candidate proposal to focus search on informative regions. Experiments show EcoFrame offers a superior accuracy-efficiency trade-off across various VLMs, outperforming existing methods like BOLT and A.I.R. on benchmarks such as Video-MME, LongVideoBench, and MLVU.
