Aapo Hyvärinen: Estimation of Non-Normalized Statistical Models by Score Matching (2005) https://jmlr.org/papers/volume6/hyvarinen05a/hyvarinen05a.pdf

Fitting the score function - the gradient of a log density - rather than the log density itself, allows us to ignore pesky normalization constants.

Todo: develop connections to diffusion models.
