Conceptual diagram of the variational Bayes model. Standard Bayesian update estimates the unknown characteristics of the data-generating distribution in the form of a Gauss-gamma distribution (dotted blue line). By contrast, the variational Bayes model (dotted green line), which is a type of approximate inference, sets and modifies an arbitrary approximate (q) based on DKL, indicating the difference between the approximate (q) and true posterior (p).
