This means that the score minimizes the scenario of finding a point closer to a negative than to a positive part of a pair.\n\nSince the score of a context relates to loss, the maximum score a point can get is 0.0, and it becomes normal that many points can have a score of 0.0.\n\nFor discovery search (when including a target), the context part of the score for each pair is calculated +1 if the point is closer to a positive than to a negative part of a pair, and -1 otherwise.",
