Particle flow plays an important role in precise measurement of Higgs bosons at future lepton colliders such as ILC and FCCee. Various detector concepts are designed to maximize the effect of particle flow to be able to separate each particles inside jets and improve the resolutions. For the standard particle flow algorithm, PandoraPFA is used for long in ILC studies. It is a multi-step reconstruction algorithm consisting of clustering, track-cluster association, and various refinement processes. We have studied machine learned particle flow model using Graph Neural Network based algorithm developed in the context of CMS HGCAL clustering. This model utilizes GravNet as GNN architecture and Object Condensation loss function for training. Since the HG-CAL algorithm only performs clustering at the calorimeter, we have extended the model with track-cluster matching to achieve full PFA. Details of initial implementation of the track-cluster matching algorithm as well as performance evaluation with multiple tau events and jet events will be shown. The results are also compared to the Pandora PFA.
