Note however, most of the VI / VB algorithms do not concern any techniques in calculus of variations, but only uses Jensen\'s inequality -/ the fact the $D(p, q)$ reaches minimum when $p = q$. Due to this +/ the fact the $D(q||p)$ reaches minimum when $p = q$. Due to this reasoning of the naming, EM is also a kind of VI, even though in the literature VI often referes to its fully Bayesian version. -- cgit v1.2.3
