Shrnutí	Hierarchical variational inference (HVI) extends standard variational inference by placing a richer, hierarchical structure on the variational family itself. Instead of using a simple mean-field approximation, HVI introduces auxiliary latent variables that capture dependencies among the main latent variables, yielding tighter evidence lower bounds and more accurate posterior approximations for complex Bayesian models.	Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a family of computational algorithms for sampling from complex probability distributions, most commonly the posterior distributions that arise in Bayesian inference. Rather than computing posteriors analytically — which is rarely possible for realistic models — MCMC constructs a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the target posterior and draws dependent samples from it, enabling full probabilistic inference for virtually any model.
