Furthermore, we show that for the linear channel, the proposed scheme exhibits better convergence properties than the \ac{MMSE}-based, the \ac{CMA}-based, and the \ac{VAE}-based equalizers in terms of both convergence speed and robustness to variations in training batch size and learning rate.

We evaluate the start-up of blind equalizers at critical working points, analyze the advantages and obstacles of commonly-used algorithms, and demonstrate how the recently-proposed variational autoencoder (VAE) based equalizers can improve bootstrapping.
