• Abstract: The primary aim of this paper is to suggest questions for future discourse and research of specialized programming courses in the Humanities. Specifically I ask whether specialized courses promote the production of fragile programming knowledge, what are the difficulties encountered by humanistic students in their learning of programming, and what may be the proper place of algorithmics in the curriculum of specialized studies.

  We formulate program-guided tasks which require learning to execute a given program on the observed task specification. We propose the Program-guided Transformer (ProTo), which integrates both semantic and structural guidance of a program. ProTo executes a program in a learned latent space and enjoys stronger representation ability than previous neural-symbolic approaches.
