A new method uses entropy-guided attention to make transformer ASR models like Whisper more explainable about why they committed to a given transcription (arXiv 2606.14647). Given how widely Whisper is deployed, an interpretability hook for debugging speech pipelines is practically useful. If you've ever stared at a confidently wrong transcript with no way to ask "why," this is the kind of tooling that helps.
