摘要 This paper aims to explore the way of evaluating the automatic text grader for
     open-ended questions by considering the relationships among raters, grade levels, and
     prediction errors. The open-ended question in this study was about aurora and required
     knowledge of earth science and physics. Each student’s response was graded from 0 to 10
     points by three raters. The automatic grading systems were designed as support-vectormachine
     regression models with linear, quadratic, and RBF kernel respectively. The three
     kinds of regression models were separately trained through grades by three human raters and
     the average grades. The preliminary evaluation with 391 students’ data shows results as the
     following: (1) The higher the grade-level is, the larger the prediction error is. (2) The ranks
     of prediction errors of human-rater-trained models at three grade levels are different. (3) The
     model trained through the average grades has the best performance at all three grade-levels
     no matter what the kind of kernel is. These results suggest that examining the prediction
     errors of models in detail on different grade-levels is worthwhile for finding the best
     matching between raters’ grades and models.
