Zusammenfassung	Dynamic variational inference extends the variational inference framework to sequential and time-series settings by positing a structured approximate posterior that respects the temporal ordering of latent states. It jointly learns a generative model of how hidden states evolve over time and a recognition network that maps observed sequences back to those latent states, optimising a sequential evidence lower bound (ELBO).	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.
