Clipping Improves Adam-Norm and AdaGrad-Norm when the Noise Is Heavy-Tailed

Methods with adaptive stepsizes, such as AdaGrad and Adam, are essential for training modern Deep Learning models, especially Large Language Models. Typically, the noise in the stochastic gradients is heavy-tailed for the later ones. Gradient clipping provably helps to achieve good high-probability…
