The development of axiological theories posed an acute problem of their enrichment with an ethical component. A method for transferring ethics to the scientific field is shown, which consists of including the concept of maximizing the well-being of all people affected by any situation in all axiological theories. As a formal science, informatics does not contain the ethical concept of maximizing well-being itself; however, due to its engagement in cross-disciplinary relationships with all axiological sciences, it possesses an exclusively relevant ethical relativity. Determining the metascientific bases of the ethical relativity of informatics provides opportunities for its multifaceted study from the viewpoint of science instead of poorly understood metaphysics.

A review is provided of the purposes, functionality, and webometric indicators (WMIs) for the websites of the leading international organizations that aggregate specialized scientific information, including citation and scientometric systems; websites designed to support national publications; etc. The WMIs of foreign websites are compared with those of the functionally similar Russian online resources. An overview is given of the structure of foreign and Russian websites that publish information related to dissertations, their extended abstracts, and their full-text versions. The terms of user access to these materials are described. The WMIs of these websites are compared. An analysis is conducted of the functionality and WMIs of the following online resources: the leading foreign and Russian websites that provide access to autonomous information–analytical and information systems for scientific journals; websites of individual journals related to scientometric studies and information management (services) in science.

This paper refines the main result of [1], where the limit \( - {e^{ - a}} - a{e^{ - a}}\left[ {1 - {e^{ - c\sqrt a }}} \right]\) was proved for the probability of encountering an accidental similarity between two parent examples without \(m = c\sqrt n \) counter examples if each parent example and counter example is described by a series of \(\sqrt n \) independent Bernoulli trials with success probability \(p = \sqrt {a/n} \). In this paper, we prove that the rate of convergence to the limit is proportional to \({n^{\frac{1}{2}}}\).

The need to transform existing algorithms in Big Data Systems is considered. The transformation must allow independent and parallel processing of separate fragments of data. The characteristic aspects of a well-organized intermediate compact form of information and its natural algebraic properties are studied and an illustrative example is provided.

In this paper, we investigate spaces of similarity generated by fact bases of intelligent JSM systems and present a classification for the set of potential hypotheses. Conditions on similarity spaces are imposed to reduce the number of classes in this classification. The results obtained in this work make it possible to estimate the set of hypotheses (including minimal ones) found by inductive reasoning and can be used to solve the problems of opinion analysis and formation of a social structure.

This paper describes the principles for developing the AZBAT phonetic alphabet, which was created by analogy with the DARPAbet phonetic alphabet of the English language and is oriented to creating the speech corpus and system for synthesis of Chechen speech. The experience of developers of other phonetic alphabets and databases was used; account was also taken of the features of pronunciation and graphics, rules of compatibility, and variability of phonemes, which had been described in the works of well-known Chechen philologists. The classification of vowels and consonant phonemes is given, according to which each phoneme has the attributes that are necessary to implement the program code. The designed system for synthesis of Chechen speech is assigned a basic set of acoustic phonetic elements that consists of diphones and allophones. This set will be complied with to build an acoustic phonetic database that is the basis of a system for automatic synthesis of Chechen speech.
