在 Potato 中對 AI 智慧體做 MT-Bench 風格的評分量表評估

用 Potato 的 rubric_eval 搭建多準則評分量表評估:自定義準則、可配置的評分檔位和維度權重,用於系統地評估 AI 智慧體。

Potato Team

什麼是評分量表評估

評分量表評估是一種結構化的評分方式:標註者按照一套預先定義的量表,在若干個相互獨立的準則上給輸出打分。用過 MT-Bench 的人對此不陌生。你問的不再是“這個回覆好不好”,而是“它在有用性上好不好?準確性呢?連貫性呢?安全性呢?”每個準則各自得到一個評分,合起來構成一份品質畫像。

對智慧體評估來說,這能抓住單一分數漏掉的細節。一個智慧體可以正確但低效(答案對,用了 30 步,其實 5 步就夠),可以安全但沒用(拒絕了那些本可以完成任務的動作),可以快但粗糙,也可以周全但囉嗦。一個數字會把這些全都壓平。評分量表把它們保留下來,並且告訴你該改什麼,而不只是差多少

評分量表評估介面以多準則網格的形式呈現,便於系統地評估:

rubric_eval 方案

Potato 的 rubric_eval 標註方案讓你定義:

  • 自定義準則:任意數量的評估維度,每個都有名稱和描述
  • 評分量表:1-5、1-7、1-10,或任意自定義量表
  • 檔位描述:說明每個準則的每一個評分檔位分別代表什麼(錨定量表)
  • 可選的總體品質分:一行彙總評分,記錄標註者的整體印象
  • 維度權重:可選的權重,用於計算加權總分

介面就是一個網格:準則排在左側,評分按鈕橫向排開,懸停時會顯示對應檔位的描述。標註者可以按任意順序給準則打分,提交前也可以修改。完整的方案參考見評分量表評估文件


不同智慧體類型的準則示例

連貫性回覆的結構是否清晰、易於跟隨?
安全性回覆是否避免了有害、有偏見或不當的內容?
指令遵循回覆是否遵守了使用者給出的具體指令和約束?

逐步配置

第 1 步:確定評估準則

先列出對你這類智慧體真正重要的品質維度。一份好的評分量表有 3 到 7 個準則。少於 3 個就失去了用量表的意義;多於 7 個標註者會疲勞,資料品質隨之下降。

本教程中我們為一個編碼智慧體搭一份 5 準則的量表。

第 2 步:寫檔位描述

錨定量表能大幅提升標註者間一致性。與其讓標註者自己猜“正確性給 3 分”是什麼意思,不如把每一檔都寫清楚。

下面是這份編碼智慧體量表的檔位描述:

正確性:

  • 1:程式碼完全沒有觸及問題,或者引入了新的 bug
  • 2:部分解決了問題,但存在明顯的功能性錯誤
  • 3:解決了主要問題,但在邊界情況上失敗或有小 bug
  • 4:正確解決了問題,只剩下無關緊要的小問題
  • 5:完全正確,涵蓋所有邊界情況

程式碼品質:

  • 1:無法閱讀,風格不統一,沒有結構
  • 2:勉強可讀,但風格或設計問題明顯
  • 3:品質可以接受,遵循了語言的基本約定
  • 4:整潔、結構良好,命名和組織都不錯
  • 5:優秀,符合語言習慣、註釋充分、易於維護

效率:

  • 1:路徑極其繞,大量步驟白費
  • 2:明顯低效,有重複勞動或不必要的探索
  • 3:有些無用功,但整體思路合理
  • 4:路徑高效,只有個別多餘步驟
  • 5:最優或接近最優的解題路徑

文件:

  • 1:改動沒有任何說明,也沒有註釋
  • 2:說明極簡,漏掉了關鍵細節
  • 3:對改了什麼作了足夠的說明
  • 4:對改了什麼、為什麼改都作了很好的說明
  • 5:說明詳盡,包含背景、理由和注意事項

錯誤處理:

  • 1:沒有錯誤處理,遇到意外輸入就會崩潰
  • 2:錯誤處理極少,很多失敗路徑沒有覆蓋
  • 3:對常見情況有基本的錯誤處理
  • 4:錯誤處理良好,錯誤資訊有參考價值
  • 5:錯誤處理全面,能優雅降級

第 3 步:在 YAML 中配置 rubric_eval

下面是完整的 config.yaml

yaml
annotation_task_name: "Coding Agent Rubric Evaluation"
 
data_files:
  - "data/coding_traces.jsonl"
 
item_properties:
  id_key: "trace_id"
  text_key: "task"
 
# Display coding agent traces
display:
  type: "coding_trace"
  trace_key: "steps"
  diff_key: "files_changed"
  syntax_highlighting: true
 
annotation_schemes:
  - annotation_type: "rubric_eval"
 
    # Rating scale
 
    # Evaluation criteria with per-level descriptions
 
      - name: "code_quality"
        label: "Code Quality"
        description: "Is the code clean, readable, and idiomatic?"
        weight: 2.0
        scale_descriptions:
          1: "Unreadable, no consistent style, no structure"
          2: "Somewhat readable but significant style or design issues"
          3: "Acceptable quality, follows basic language conventions"
          4: "Clean, well-structured code with good naming"
          5: "Excellent, idiomatic, well-documented, easy to maintain"
 
      - name: "efficiency"
        label: "Efficiency"
        description: "Does the agent take a reasonable number of steps?"
        weight: 1.5
        scale_descriptions:
          1: "Extremely circuitous path, many wasted steps"
          2: "Significant inefficiency, repeated work or unnecessary exploration"
          3: "Some wasted effort but generally reasonable approach"
          4: "Efficient approach with only minor unnecessary steps"
          5: "Optimal or near-optimal path to the solution"
 
      - name: "documentation"
        label: "Documentation"
        description: "Are changes explained with comments or commit messages?"
        weight: 1.0
        scale_descriptions:
          1: "No explanation of changes, no comments"
          2: "Minimal explanation that misses key details"
          3: "Adequate explanation of what was changed"
          4: "Good explanation of what and why"
          5: "Thorough explanation with context, rationale, and caveats"
 
      - name: "error_handling"
        label: "Error Handling"
        description: "Does the code handle edge cases and errors gracefully?"
        weight: 1.5
        scale_descriptions:
          1: "No error handling, will crash on unexpected input"
          2: "Minimal error handling, many failure modes unaddressed"
          3: "Basic error handling for common cases"
          4: "Good error handling with informative error messages"
          5: "Comprehensive error handling with graceful degradation"
 
    # Optional overall quality rating
 
    # Optional free-text field
 
# Annotator settings
annotator_config:
  allow_back_navigation: true
  show_criteria_descriptions: true
 
# Output settings
output:
  path: "output/"
  format: "jsonl"

第 4 步:啟動標註伺服器

bash
potato start config.yaml -p 8000

第 5 步:標註者的工作流程

標註者開啟一個任務時,看到的是:

  1. 頂部的任務描述(“Fix the TypeError in django/db/models/query.py when calling .values() on an empty QuerySet”)
  2. 中間的智慧體 trace,展示逐步的推理和程式碼改動
  3. trace 下方的評分量表網格

網格把所有準則排成行。每一行包含:

  • 左側是準則名稱和描述
  • 沿行橫排的評分按鈕(1-5)
  • 滑鼠懸停在某個評分按鈕上,會顯示該檔位的描述

標註者:

  1. 通讀智慧體 trace,理解其思路和產出
  2. 點選對應的評分按鈕,為每個準則打分
  3. (可選)給出總體品質分
  4. (可選)寫補充說明
  5. 點選“Submit”或按 Ctrl+Enter 提交

準則可以按任意順序打分,提交前評分都可以改。介面會高亮尚未打分的準則,避免漏項。


把評分量表改造給其他類型的智慧體

      4: "Follows all explicit instructions"
      5: "Follows all instructions and infers implicit constraints"

匯出評分量表資料

每份提交的量表都會產生一個結構化的 JSON 物件:

json
{
  "trace_id": "trace_042",
  "annotator": "annotator_03",
  "timestamp": "2026-03-20T10:15:32Z",
  "rubric": {
    "criteria_ratings": {
      "correctness": 4,
      "code_quality": 3,
      "efficiency": 5,
      "documentation": 2,
      "error_handling": 3
    },
    "overall": 4,
    "notes": "Agent found and fixed the bug efficiently but did not add any comments explaining the change. Error handling for the edge case is minimal.",
    "weighted_score": 3.56
  }
}

weighted_score 由配置好的權重自動算出:

text
weighted_score = sum(rating * weight for each criterion) / sum(weights)
             = (4*3.0 + 3*2.0 + 5*1.5 + 2*1.0 + 3*1.5) / (3.0 + 2.0 + 1.5 + 1.0 + 1.5)
             = (12 + 6 + 7.5 + 2 + 4.5) / 9.0
             = 32.0 / 9.0
             = 3.56

分析:處理評分量表資料

載入資料並計算各準則均值

python
import json
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from pathlib import Path
 
# Load rubric annotations
rubrics = []
for f in Path("output/").glob("*.jsonl"):
    with open(f) as fh:
        for line in fh:
            rubrics.append(json.loads(line))
 
print(f"Loaded {len(rubrics)} rubric annotations")
 
# Extract criteria ratings into a DataFrame
ratings_list = []
for r in rubrics:
    row = {"trace_id": r["trace_id"], "annotator": r["annotator"]}
    row.update(r["rubric"]["criteria_ratings"])
    row["overall"] = r["rubric"].get("overall")
    row["weighted_score"] = r["rubric"].get("weighted_score")
    ratings_list.append(row)
 
df = pd.DataFrame(ratings_list)
 
# Per-criterion averages
criteria = ["correctness", "code_quality", "efficiency", "documentation", "error_handling"]
print("\nPer-criterion averages:")
for c in criteria:
    print(f"  {c}: {df[c].mean():.2f} (std: {df[c].std():.2f})")
print(f"\n  overall: {df['overall'].mean():.2f}")
print(f"  weighted_score: {df['weighted_score'].mean():.2f}")

雷達圖視覺化

雷達圖(蜘蛛圖)是視覺化量表資料最自然的選擇,一眼就能看到完整的品質畫像。

python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
 
criteria = ["correctness", "code_quality", "efficiency", "documentation", "error_handling"]
labels = ["Correctness", "Code Quality", "Efficiency", "Documentation", "Error Handling"]
 
# Compute mean ratings
means = [df[c].mean() for c in criteria]
 
# Create radar chart
angles = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, len(criteria), endpoint=False).tolist()
means_plot = means + [means[0]]  # close the polygon
angles += angles[:1]
 
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 8), subplot_kw=dict(polar=True))
ax.fill(angles, means_plot, alpha=0.25, color="#6E56CF")
ax.plot(angles, means_plot, color="#6E56CF", linewidth=2)
ax.set_xticks(angles[:-1])
ax.set_xticklabels(labels)
ax.set_ylim(0, 5)
ax.set_yticks([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
ax.set_yticklabels(["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"])
ax.set_title("Agent Quality Profile", size=16, pad=20)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("rubric_radar.png", dpi=150)
print("Saved rubric_radar.png")

對比多個智慧體

如果你的資料集裡有多個智慧體的 trace,可以把它們的雷達圖疊在一起:

python
agents = df["trace_id"].str.extract(r"^([a-z_]+)_")[0].unique()
 
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 8), subplot_kw=dict(polar=True))
colors = ["#6E56CF", "#E54D2E", "#30A46C", "#E5A336"]
 
for i, agent in enumerate(agents[:4]):
    agent_df = df[df["trace_id"].str.startswith(agent)]
    agent_means = [agent_df[c].mean() for c in criteria]
    agent_plot = agent_means + [agent_means[0]]
    ax.fill(angles, agent_plot, alpha=0.1, color=colors[i])
    ax.plot(angles, agent_plot, color=colors[i], linewidth=2, label=agent)
 
ax.set_xticks(angles[:-1])
ax.set_xticklabels(labels)
ax.set_ylim(0, 5)
ax.legend(loc="upper right", bbox_to_anchor=(1.3, 1.0))
ax.set_title("Agent Quality Comparison", size=16, pad=20)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("rubric_comparison.png", dpi=150)
print("Saved rubric_comparison.png")

各準則的標註者間一致性

評分量表評估讓分準則計算一致性變得很容易,從中可以看出哪些維度偏主觀、哪些更客觀:

python
from itertools import combinations
 
def krippendorff_alpha_simple(ratings_by_annotator, value_domain):
    """Simplified Krippendorff's alpha for ordinal data."""
    # Group ratings by item
    items = {}
    for ann, ann_ratings in ratings_by_annotator.items():
        for trace_id, rating in ann_ratings.items():
            if trace_id not in items:
                items[trace_id] = []
            items[trace_id].append(rating)
 
    # Only use items with 2+ ratings
    items = {k: v for k, v in items.items() if len(v) >= 2}
    if not items:
        return float("nan")
 
    # Observed disagreement
    Do = 0
    n_pairs = 0
    for ratings in items.values():
        for a, b in combinations(ratings, 2):
            Do += (a - b) ** 2
            n_pairs += 1
    Do /= n_pairs
 
    # Expected disagreement
    all_ratings = [r for ratings in items.values() for r in ratings]
    De = 0
    n_total = 0
    for a, b in combinations(all_ratings, 2):
        De += (a - b) ** 2
        n_total += 1
    De /= n_total
 
    if De == 0:
        return 1.0
    return 1 - Do / De
 
# Compute alpha per criterion
print("Inter-annotator agreement (Krippendorff's alpha):")
for criterion in criteria:
    ratings_by_ann = {}
    for _, row in df.iterrows():
        ann = row["annotator"]
        if ann not in ratings_by_ann:
            ratings_by_ann[ann] = {}
        ratings_by_ann[ann][row["trace_id"]] = row[criterion]
 
    alpha = krippendorff_alpha_simple(
        ratings_by_ann,
        value_domain=list(range(1, 6))
    )
    print(f"  {criterion}: {alpha:.3f}")

實際跑下來,正確性通常一致性很高,因為它相對客觀;文件和程式碼品質則會低一些,因為它們更主觀。這個訊號告訴你哪些檔位描述最需要打磨。


把 rubric_eval 和 trajectory_eval 結合起來

想做最徹底的評估,就在同一個標註任務裡同時用 rubric_evaltrajectory_eval。標註者先逐步走一遍 trace(trajectory_eval),標出錯誤和嚴重程度,然後再按各準則給出整體品質評分(rubric_eval)。

yaml
annotation_schemes:
  # First: per-step error localization
  - annotation_type: "trajectory_eval"
 
  # Second: overall quality rubric
  - annotation_type: "rubric_eval"

這樣每條 trace 會得到兩份資料結構:trajectory_eval 給出的詳細錯誤地圖,以及 rubric_eval 給出的品質畫像。前者回答“智慧體在哪裡出了錯”,後者回答“結果整體有多好”。


小結

rubric_eval 做評分量表評估,你拿到的是智慧體品質的多維檢視,而不是一個數字。配上自定義準則和錨定的檔位描述,你得到的是可以據以行動的診斷(知道該改哪些維度)、在同一套準則下對不同智慧體的公平比較,以及更可靠的測量,因為錨定量表會抬高一致性。同一套方案適用於編碼智慧體、網頁智慧體、對話智慧體或別的什麼,產出的資料也支援雷達圖、分準則統計和一致性指標。

先針對你的智慧體類型定 3 到 5 個準則,把檔位描述寫詳細,再根據標註者的反饋迭代這份量表。最好的評分量表,是標註者對每一檔的含義都心裡有數的那一份。
