Denoising Score Matching is a technique used to estimate the score function, which is the gradient of the log probability density function, for high-dimensional data distributions. The core idea is to train a neural network to predict the score of a noisy version of the data, rather than the data itself. This is achieved by corrupting the original data with noise, producing a noisy observation , and then training the model to minimize the difference between the true score and the predicted score of .
Mathematically, the objective can be formulated as:
where is the model's estimated distribution. Denoising Score Matching is particularly useful in scenarios where direct sampling from the data distribution is challenging, enabling efficient learning of complex distributions through implicit modeling.
