We study one-way matching of a pair of datasets with low rank signals. Under a stylized model, we first derive information-theoretic limits of matching under a mismatch proportion loss. We then show that linear assignment with projected data achieves fast rates of convergence and sometimes even minimax rate optimality for this task. The theoretical error bounds are corroborated by simulated examples. Furthermore, we illustrate practical use of the matching procedure on two single-cell data examples.

We propose a Weak-form Physics-Informed Neural Operator (WINO), a data-free framework that combines the efficiency of neural operators with the geometric flexibility of the $φ$-finite element method ($φ$-FEM). $φ$-FEM is an unfitted method that accommodates geometric variations without body-fitted meshes, where the domain geometry is represented by the level-set function $φ$. To impose the boundary conditions, Dirichlet problems adopt the $φ$-FEM lifting so only the homogeneous displacement contribution is learned, whereas traction-driven Neumann problems additionally predict the auxiliary fields necessary for the unfitted weak formulation. Parameters are trained by minimizing squared weak-form residuals aligned with $φ$-FEM together with squared penalties on the cut-cell auxiliary equations, which removes the need for large paired datasets of converged reference solutions. After training, WINO outputs can seed the nonlinear $φ$-FEM solvers as neural operator warm starts (NOWS), which reduce iteration counts relative to traditional cold-started solvers. Numerical benchmarks show that WINO achieves high accuracy below 0.04 across all benchmarks, while reducing total computational time by 50--80\% compared with purely data-driven methods.
