My name is Jialin Lu 陸家林. I also go with the name Lucy, which has been with me for years.


Currently I work at Huawei Vancouver research center.

I am interested in Bezier curves and program synthesis.

More about me

I was born in Lanxi (蘭谿, 'the orchid creek'), a typical southern Yangtze river town. My father practices the art of traditional Chinese calligraphy, specializing in Wei dynasty inscriptions, and is also a provincially recognized calligraphy mentor. I received intensive training from him when I was younger, until I achieved some local/provincial/national awards and participated in exhibitions, after which I ceased training for various reasons. I specialize in the works of Zhao Mengfu (趙孟頫) and Chu Suiliang (褚遂良), in particular 妙嚴寺記 and 陰符經.


The degree in design was, with sincere gratitude, obtained through the International Design Institute of Zhejiang University and the Studio of Design and Innovation program. My master's thesis (with Martin Ester) focused on building interpretable models by infusing deep learning with the crispness of logic, which is related to the general theme of neuro-symbolic integration.


I was into neural-symbolic computation during my master's study, working on networks that produce symbolic predicates for symbolic computation to operate on. This line of work has been inspiring yet has not been very fruitful; the bitter lesson is brutal. I have had a change of mind since then. Probably we should think more about application and less about the methods. Whatever works must have a reason.
