abstract = {Finding optimal controllers of stochastic systems is a partic-
ularly challenging problem tackled by the optimal control and
reinforce-
ment learning communities. A classic paradigm for handling such prob-
lems is provided by Markov Decision Processes. However, the resulting
underlying optimization problem is dicult to solve. In this
paper, we
explore the possible use of Particle Swarm Optimization to learn
optimal
controllers and show through some non-trivial experiments that it
is a
particularly promising lead.}
