Recall¶
Module Interface¶
- class torchmetrics.Recall(num_classes=None, threshold=0.5, average='micro', mdmc_average=None, ignore_index=None, top_k=None, multiclass=None, **kwargs)[source]
Note
From v0.10 an ‘binary_*’, ‘multiclass_*’, `’multilabel_*’ version now exist of each classification metric. Moving forward we recommend using these versions. This base metric will still work as it did prior to v0.10 until v0.11. From v0.11 the task argument introduced in this metric will be required and the general order of arguments may change, such that this metric will just function as an single entrypoint to calling the three specialized versions.
Computes Recall:

Where
and
represent the number of true positives and
false negatives respecitively. With the use of top_kparameter, this metric can generalize to Recall@K.The reduction method (how the recall scores are aggregated) is controlled by the
averageparameter, and additionally by themdmc_averageparameter in the multi-dimensional multi-class case. Accepts all inputs listed in Input types.- Parameters
num_classes¶ (
Optional[int]) – Number of classes. Necessary for'macro','weighted'andNoneaverage methods.threshold¶ (
float) – Threshold for transforming probability or logit predictions to binary(0,1)predictions, in the case of binary or multi-label inputs. Default value of0.5corresponds to input being probabilities.average¶ (
Optional[Literal[‘micro’, ‘macro’, ‘weighted’, ‘none’]]) –Defines the reduction that is applied. Should be one of the following:
'micro'[default]: Calculate the metric globally, across all samples and classes.'macro': Calculate the metric for each class separately, and average the metrics across classes (with equal weights for each class).'weighted': Calculate the metric for each class separately, and average the metrics across classes, weighting each class by its support (tp + fn).'none'orNone: Calculate the metric for each class separately, and return the metric for every class.'samples': Calculate the metric for each sample, and average the metrics across samples (with equal weights for each sample).
Note
What is considered a sample in the multi-dimensional multi-class case depends on the value of
mdmc_average.mdmc_average¶ (
Optional[str]) –Defines how averaging is done for multi-dimensional multi-class inputs (on top of the
averageparameter). Should be one of the following:None[default]: Should be left unchanged if your data is not multi-dimensional multi-class.'samplewise': In this case, the statistics are computed separately for each sample on theNaxis, and then averaged over samples. The computation for each sample is done by treating the flattened extra axes...(see Input types) as theNdimension within the sample, and computing the metric for the sample based on that.'global': In this case theNand...dimensions of the inputs (see Input types) are flattened into a newN_Xsample axis, i.e. the inputs are treated as if they were(N_X, C). From here on theaverageparameter applies as usual.
ignore_index¶ (
Optional[int]) – Integer specifying a target class to ignore. If given, this class index does not contribute to the returned score, regardless of reduction method. If an index is ignored, andaverage=Noneor'none', the score for the ignored class will be returned asnan.Number of the highest probability or logit score predictions considered finding the correct label, relevant only for (multi-dimensional) multi-class. The default value (
None) will be interpreted as 1 for these inputs.Should be left at default (
None) for all other types of inputs.multiclass¶ (
Optional[bool]) – Used only in certain special cases, where you want to treat inputs as a different type than what they appear to be. See the parameter’s documentation section for a more detailed explanation and examples.kwargs¶ (
Any) – Additional keyword arguments, see Advanced metric settings for more info.

threshold¶ (
float) – Threshold for transforming probability to binary (0,1) predictionsaverage¶ (
Optional[Literal[‘micro’, ‘macro’, ‘weighted’, ‘none’]]) –Defines the reduction that is applied over labels. Should be one of the following:
micro: Sum statistics over all labelsmacro: Calculate statistics for each label and average themweighted: Calculates statistics for each label and computes weighted average using their support"none"orNone: Calculates statistic for each label and applies no reduction
multidim_average¶ (
Literal[‘global’, ‘samplewise’]) –Defines how additionally dimensions
...should be handled. Should be one of the following:global: Additional dimensions are flatted along the batch dimensionsamplewise: Statistic will be calculated independently for each sample on theNaxis. The statistics in this case are calculated over the additional dimensions.
ignore_index¶ (
Optional[int]) – Specifies a target value that is ignored and does not contribute to the metric calculationvalidate_args¶ (
bool) – bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness. Set toFalsefor faster computations.
- Returns
If
multidim_averageis set toglobal:If
average='micro'/'macro'/'weighted', the output will be a scalar tensorIf
average=None/'none', the shape will be(C,)
If
multidim_averageis set tosamplewise:If
average='micro'/'macro'/'weighted', the shape will be(N,)If
average=None/'none', the shape will be(N, C)
- Return type
The returned shape depends on the

- Example (preds is int tensor):
>>> from torchmetrics.functional.classification import multilabel_recall >>> target = torch.tensor([[0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1]]) >>> preds = torch.tensor([[0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1]]) >>> multilabel_recall(preds, target, num_labels=3) tensor(0.6667) >>> multilabel_recall(preds, target, num_labels=3, average=None) tensor([1., 0., 1.])
- Example (preds is float tensor):
>>> from torchmetrics.functional.classification import multilabel_recall >>> target = torch.tensor([[0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1]]) >>> preds = torch.tensor([[0.11, 0.22, 0.84], [0.73, 0.33, 0.92]]) >>> multilabel_recall(preds, target, num_labels=3) tensor(0.6667) >>> multilabel_recall(preds, target, num_labels=3, average=None) tensor([1., 0., 1.])
- Example (multidim tensors):
>>> from torchmetrics.functional.classification import multilabel_recall >>> target = torch.tensor([[[0, 1], [1, 0], [0, 1]], [[1, 1], [0, 0], [1, 0]]]) >>> preds = torch.tensor( ... [ ... [[0.59, 0.91], [0.91, 0.99], [0.63, 0.04]], ... [[0.38, 0.04], [0.86, 0.780], [0.45, 0.37]], ... ] ... ) >>> multilabel_recall(preds, target, num_labels=3, multidim_average='samplewise') tensor([0.6667, 0.0000]) >>> multilabel_recall(preds, target, num_labels=3, multidim_average='samplewise', average=None) tensor([[1., 1., 0.], [0., 0., 0.]])
