Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Reinforcement learning methods achieve performance superior to humans in a wide range of complex tasks and uncertain environments.
However, high performance is not the sole metric for practical use, namely when used as a game AI or autonomous driving agent, since highly efficient agent tends to perform greedily and selfishly, therefore inconveniencing the users.
Consequently, there is a need for more human-like agents.
Imitation learning, on the other hand, aims at reproducing the behavior of a human expert and can be used to train a human-like agent, the caveat being that its performance is generally limited by the expert's skill.
In the study, we propose a training scheme to construct a human-like and efficient agent through a hybrid of reinforcement and imitation learning, and apply it to a racing car simulator.
The proposed hybrid agent achieves a higher performance than a strictly imitation learning agent while exhibits more human-like behavior, which is measured via a human sensitivity test.
