You can learn to remember scores of 0.1 or 0.2 pawns lower than the scores of
the game after losing so if the program has a logical alternative it is going to
choose it

For example if it lost by 1.e4 c5 2.Na3 Nc6 when the score was 0.24 for itself
After 2...Nc6  then it may remember only 0.04 for itself based on the fact that
it lost the game and it may help it to prefer 2...e6 that gives it 0.17 pawns
adavnatge for black.
