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
?
