Hézagtölt

Hézagtölt is a Hungarian term formed from hézag (gap) and tölt (fill). It is not widely attested in standard dictionaries, and the exact sense tends to vary by field.

In data science and statistics, hézagtölt is occasionally used as a generic label for the process of imputing or filling missing values in a dataset, using probabilistic models or machine-learning methods to estimate plausible substitutes.

In computer graphics and 3D modeling, the concept can refer to filling holes or gaps in a mesh to create a continuous surface, often through interpolation or surface fitting.

In natural language processing, the term is sometimes used metaphorically to describe infilling missing tokens in a text sequence based on surrounding context.

Etymology: from hézag (gap) + tölt (fill); a compound typical of Hungarian technical terminology. Usage and standardization: mainly found in Hungarian-language sources and informal writing; there is no single, widely accepted definition in international terminology. If used, the intended sense should be clarified by context, specifying the field and the method involved.
