  HERBench is a benchmark for evaluating multi-evidence integration in video question answering.
  It contains 26,806 five-way multiple-choice questions across 337 unique videos with an average
  length of 395 seconds. Each question enforces a High Evidential Requirement (ER), requiring
  models to aggregate at least k ≥ 3 distinct, temporally separated visual cues. The benchmark
  includes 12 compositional task types covering temporal reasoning, spatial reasoning, causal
  reasoning, counting, comparison, and other multi-evidence challenges.
