Grading of exams is an important, labor intensive, subjective, repetitive and frequently challenging task. The feasibility of autograding textual responses has greatly increased thanks to the availability of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and because of the substantial influx of data brought about by digitalization. However, entrusting AI models with decision-making roles raises ethical considerations, mainly stemming from potential biases and issues related to generating false information. Thus, in this manuscript we provide an evaluation of a large language model for the purpose of autograding, while also highlighting how LLMs can support educators in validating their grading procedures. Our evaluation is targeted towards automatic short textual answers grading (ASAG), spanning various languages and examinations from two distinct courses. Our findings suggest that while "out-of-the-box" LLMs provide a valuable tool to provide a complementary perspective, their readiness for independent automated grading remains a work in progress, necessitating human oversight.

通过评估大型语言模型在自动评分方面的可行性，并强调大型语言模型如何支持教育工作者验证评分程序，研究表明，虽然“开箱即用”的大型语言模型提供了宝贵的工具来提供补充视角，但它们对于独立自动评分的准备工作仍然是一个尚未完成的工作，需要人工监督。
