สรุป	Variational inference with measurement error is a scalable Bayesian approach that simultaneously estimates model parameters and latent true covariates when observed variables are contaminated by noise. Rather than sampling the posterior via MCMC, it finds the closest tractable distribution to the true posterior by maximising the evidence lower bound (ELBO), making it applicable to large datasets where full MCMC is too costly.	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.
