make_private with clipping parameter

[lucacorbucci]

🐛 Bug

Hi everyone, I was trying to use the function make_private to wrap my Pytorch training objects. I wanted to use the AdaClipDPOptimizer and I found that there is a parameter "clipping" in the make_private function to use it. I passed "adaptive" as a parameter to the make_private function but it doesn't work. Link to colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1VivVsyU31onR1EAePuQQUMRzGGRgAi94?usp=sharing

To Reproduce

:warning: We cannot help you without you sharing reproducible code. Do not ignore this part :) Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Call the make_private function setting the clipping parameter as "adaptive"

The error is TypeError: init() missing 5 required keyword-only arguments: 'target_unclipped_quantile', 'clipbound_learning_rate', 'max_clipbound', 'min_clipbound', and 'unclipped_num_std'. This happens because the AdaClipDPOptimizer is expecting other parameters. However, when the optimizer is instantiated in the _prepare_optimizer function, only a few parameters are passed.

Expected behavior

Thanks for raising this issue! It looks like it's just a matter of passing down the parameters to the optimizer? I can take a look during the week, if you want to make a PR I'm happy to look at it as well.

Hi @alexandresablayrolles I'd like to fix this and to make a PR. Am I still in time?

[alexandresablayrolles]

Absolutely!

Hi! I'm also trying to use adaptive clipping, getting the same error. Has this issue been fixed ?

[OrabeZoher]

is there any update on this issue? I would like also to apply adaptive clipping!
