I know there are questions related to this one, but I cannot get all to work in this case.

Code:

\documentclass{llncs}

\begin{document}

\begin{multicols}{2}
    \noindent
        \begin{equation}
                  Precision = \frac{TP}{TP + FP} \label{evaluation1}
        \end{equation} \break
         \begin{equation}
      Recall = \frac{TP}{TP + FN}  \label{evaluation2}
        \end{equation} \break
        \begin{equation}
            F_1 =  2  \cdot \frac{precision \cdot recall}{ precision + recall}  \label{evaluation3}
        \end{equation}
    \end{multicols}

\end{document}

Output:

EDIT

I want to set eqaution 1 & 2 on first row. Then equation 3 on second row, like:

equation 1           equation 2  

equation 3

  • Please tell us what kind of layout you're trying to achieve. (So far, you've mostly shown us what you do not want to achieve.)

You can use \columbreak to switch over to the right column, and separate your construction into two multicols:

enter image description here

\documentclass{llncs}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-3]

\begin{multicols}{2}
  \noindent
  \begin{equation}
    \mathrm{precision} = \frac{TP}{TP + FP}
  \end{equation} \columnbreak
  \begin{equation}
    \mathrm{recall} = \frac{TP}{TP + FN}
  \end{equation}
\end{multicols}

\vspace{\dimexpr-\abovedisplayskip-\belowdisplayskip}% Adjust as needed

\begin{multicols}{2}
  \begin{equation}
    F_1 = 2 \cdot \frac{\mathrm{precision} \cdot \mathrm{recall}}{ \mathrm{precision} + \mathrm{recall} }
  \end{equation}
\end{multicols}

\lipsum[4-6]

\end{document}

Depending on the equation contents, you may want to adjust the spacing between the multicols.

  • Thank you. How can the \vspace be adjusted in this case?

    @AminaUmar: I've reduced it by a combination of \belowdisplayskip (inserted after the equations in the first multicols) and \abovedisplayskip(inserted before the equation in the second multicols). You can add more negative space using \vspace{\dimexpr-\abovedisplayskip-\belowdisplayskip-2ex}, where you change 2ex to suit your needs.

Don't tell anybody I'm using $$. Well, there are cases where it comes handy.

\documentclass{llncs}

\newenvironment{doubleequations}{%
  $$
  \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt}%
  \setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{0pt}%
  \setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{0pt}%
  \setlength{\abovedisplayshortskip}{0pt}%
  \setlength{\belowdisplayshortskip}{0pt}%
  \begin{tabular}{p{0.5\textwidth}p{0.5\textwidth}}%
}{\end{tabular}$$}

\begin{document}

text before the equation
text before the equation
text before the equation
text before the equation
\begin{doubleequations}
  \begin{equation}\label{evaluation1}
  \mathrm{Precision} = \frac{\mathrm{TP}}{\mathrm{TP} + \mathrm{FP}}
  \end{equation}
&
  \begin{equation}\label{evaluation2}
  \mathrm{Recall} = \frac{\mathrm{TP}}{\mathrm{TP} + \mathrm{FN}}
  \end{equation}
\\[-2ex]
  \begin{equation}\label{evaluation3}
  F_1 = 2\cdot \frac{\mathrm{Precision} \cdot \mathrm{Recall}}
                    {\mathrm{Precision} + \mathrm{Recall}}
  \end{equation}
\end{doubleequations}
text after the equation
text after the equation
text after the equation
text after the equation

\end{document}

Don't write “words” in math mode without segregating them in \mathrm (or \mathit, if you so prefer).

Adjust the [-2ex] spacing to suit yourself.

Why $$ and not multicols? Because this will not allow page breaks before the display.
