Zusammenfassung	Robust variational inference (RVI) extends standard variational inference by replacing the Kullback-Leibler divergence with a divergence measure that is less sensitive to outliers and model misspecification — such as the beta-divergence or a Renyi-type divergence. This yields posterior approximations that remain well-behaved even when a fraction of the data departs from the assumed model.	Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is a family of simulation-based inference methods that estimate posterior distributions without requiring an analytically tractable likelihood function. Introduced by Beaumont, Zhang and Balding (2002) in the context of population genetics, ABC replaced the intractable likelihood with repeated model simulation and a comparison of summary statistics between simulated and observed data.
