Question

Recall Definition

In terms of classification

The recall is defined as no of positive instances that are correctly detected by the classifier.

$$ TP = \frac{TP}{(TP+FN)} $$

In terms of Information retrieval

Recall is defined as No of relevant documents that are retrieved.

 Let p = No of relevant documents that are retrieved   and
     q = Total number of relevant documents 

 Formula  = p/q   

Do both the definition work on any common understanding?. I still can't get my head through this. If both are different, why are they using the same name recall?
