4. Assume we perform a sequence of k hub-authority updates. Each update works as follows: First apply the Authority Update Rule to the current set of scores.Then apply the Hub Update Rule to the resulting set of scores. At the end, the hub and authority scores may involve numbers that are very large. Select all that is TRUE.
- We care only about their relative sizes
- we can normalise them
- we can simply reduce each value by a fixed value in every iteration
- we care only about their absolute values

9. Which of the following best describes the process for updating the authority scores of web pages in the Hubs and Authorities Algorithm?
- Update the authority score of a page p by summing the hub scores of all pages with hyperlinks pointing to p.
- Update the authority score of a page p by summing the authority scores of all pages to which p has outbound hyperlinks.
- Update the authority score of a page p by summing the hub scores of all pages to which p has outbound hyperlinks.
- Update the authority score of a page p by summing the authority scores of all pages that p points to.
