	abstract = {<p>Automata learning is a known technique to infer a finite state machine from a set of observations. In this paper, we revisit Angluin{\textquoteright}s original algorithm from a categorical perspective. This abstract view on the main ingredients of the algorithm lays a uniform framework to derive algorithms for other types of automata. We show a straightforward generalization to Moore and Mealy machines, which yields an algorithm already know in the literature, and we discuss generalizations to other types of automata, including weighted automata.</p>
