A previous research has shown that most learning strategies fail to learn relational concepts when descriptions involving more then three variables are required. The reason resides in the emergence of the phase transition in the covering test. The presence of the phase transition in the covering test influences the complexity of the search, the complexity of the hypothesis found by the learner and the probability of success. To avoid these limitations we have proposed an alternative learning strategy, combining a Monte Carlo stocastich search with local deterministic search.
