Adaptive Sigmoid Clipping for Balancing the Direction–Magnitude Mismatch Trade-off in Differentially Private Learning

Differential privacy (DP) limits the impact of individual training data samples by bounding their gradient norms through clipping. Conventional clipping operations assign unequal scaling factors to sample gradients with different norms, leading to a direction mismatch between the true batch gradient…
