    Y, Z. and each occurred 10,3,1,2 times respectively. Now we’ll calculate each category’s score as follows. S(Technology)= 10*Wtech + 3*Xtech + 1*Ytech + 2*Ztech Where Xtech is the conditional probability of entity X to be present given the term ‘Technology’ is present. Similarly S(News), S(Music), S(Science) etc., are calculated. This calculation of S() is by considering all the words extracted from all the tweets of a given twitter user. Among all of categories which has got highest score will be the list into which the user belongs to.
