left in this panel here the data distribution is represented by the blue curves where we have a bimodal data distribution for this example the model distribution is represented by the dashed green curve and in this particular demonstration I'm assuming that the model is a Gaussian with a single mode so it's not able to represent the data distribution correctly so this is what the maximum likelihood solution to this problem would give us the Gaussian ends of averaging out the two different modes the KL divergence is not actually
