সারসংক্ষেপ	Multilevel Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (Multilevel HMC) combines the variance-reduction strategy of multilevel Monte Carlo with the efficient gradient-driven exploration of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. By running coupled HMC chains at increasing levels of model fidelity or discretisation, it achieves accurate posterior estimates at a computational cost substantially lower than a single fine-level HMC chain.	Multilevel variational inference (MLVI) is a scalable approximate Bayesian method that fits hierarchical (multilevel) models by optimizing a variational approximation to the posterior, rather than drawing MCMC samples. It exploits the grouped structure of multilevel data — individuals nested within groups, groups nested within higher-level units — to derive efficient coordinate-wise updates, making Bayesian inference tractable for large clustered datasets.
