Abstract. This paper introduces a new concept learning system. Its main features are presented and discussed. The controlled use of redundancy is one of the main characteristics of the program. Redundancy, in this system, is used to deal with several types of uncertainty existing in real domains. The problem of the use of redundancy is addressed, namely its influence on accuracy and comprehensibility. Extensive experiments were carried out on three real world domains. These experiments showed clearly the advantages of the use of redundancy.
