Abstract

We present a Python package for learning (non-)probabilistic deterministic nite state automata and provide heuristics in the red-blue framework. As our package is built along the API of the popular scikit-learn package, it is easy to use and new learning methods are easy to add. It provides PDFA learning as an additional tool for sequence prediction or classication to data scientists, without the need to understand the algorithm itself but rather the limitations of PDFA as a model. With applications of automata learning in diverse elds such as network trac analysis, software engineering and biology, a stratied package opens opportunities for practitioners.
