Sintesi	An Explainable Transformer combines a standard or pre-trained Transformer architecture with post-hoc or built-in interpretability techniques — such as attention rollout, gradient-weighted attention, or SHAP — to reveal which input tokens or regions drove each prediction. The approach bridges high predictive accuracy with the transparency required in high-stakes or regulated domains.	A Multimodal Transformer extends the standard Transformer architecture to process and jointly reason over two or more input modalities — most commonly text and images, but also audio, video, or structured data. Cross-modal attention layers allow information from one modality to inform representations in another, enabling tasks such as visual question answering, image captioning, and multimodal sentiment analysis.
