সারসংক্ষেপ	Bayesian online learning applies Bayesian inference sequentially: each time a new observation arrives, the current posterior over model parameters becomes the prior for the next update. The result is a principled probabilistic framework that maintains calibrated uncertainty estimates throughout, making it well-suited for streaming and non-stationary data settings.	Variational inference (VI) is a family of techniques that turn Bayesian posterior computation into an optimisation problem. Instead of drawing samples from the exact posterior — as Markov chain Monte Carlo does — VI posits a simpler, tractable family of distributions and finds the member of that family closest to the true posterior by maximising the evidence lower bound (ELBO). Introduced in its modern graphical-model form by Jordan, Ghahramani, Jaakkola and Saul (1999) and given a comprehensive statistical treatment by Blei, Kucukelbir and McAuliffe (2017), VI is now the standard scalable inference engine in probabilistic machine learning.
