Abstract(in English) In Deep reinforcement learning, it is difficult to converge when the exploration is insufficient or a reward is sparse. Besides, in a specific task, the number of exploration may be limited. Therefore, it is considered effective to learn in source tasks previously to promote leaning in the target tasks. In this research, we propose a method to train a model that can work well on variety of target tasks with Evolutionary Computation in source task. In this method, agents explore multiple environments with diverse set of neural net works to train a general model. In the experiments, we assume multiple maze source tasks. After the model training with our method in the source tasks, we shows how effective the model is for the maze tasks of the target tasks
