Kopsavilkums	Dynamic Hamiltonian Monte Carlo — widely known as the No-U-Turn Sampler (NUTS) — is an adaptive extension of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo that automatically selects the number of leapfrog integration steps during each MCMC transition, removing the need to hand-tune the most sensitive tuning parameter of standard HMC. It is the default sampler in Stan and PyMC and is suitable for continuous, differentiable posterior distributions of moderate to high dimension.	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.
