This tutorial describes the mean-field variational Bayesian approximation to inference in graphical models, using modern machine learning terminology rather than statistical physics concepts. It begins by seeking to find an approximate mean-field distribution close to the target joint in the KL-divergence sense. It then derives local node updates and reviews the recent Variational Message Passing framework.
