Tiivistelmä	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.	Hierarchical Bayesian inference is a probabilistic modeling framework that organises parameters into levels, placing priors on the group-level parameters and hyperpriors on the parameters governing those priors. It enables partial pooling of information across groups, balancing the extremes of treating each group as independent or merging them into a single estimate.
