  text: 'Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across
    a wide range of natural language processing tasks. However, their effectiveness
    in low-resource languages remains underexplored, particularly in complex tasks
    such as end-to-end Entity Linking (EL), which requires both mention detection
    and disambiguation against a knowledge base (KB). In earlier work, we introduced
    IndEL — the first end-to-end EL benchmark dataset for the Indonesian language
    — covering both a general domain (news) and a specific domain (religious text
    from the Indonesian translation of the Quran), and evaluated four traditional
    end-to-end EL systems on this dataset. In this study, we propose ELEVATE-ID, a
    comprehensive evaluation framework for assessing LLM performance on end-to-end
    EL in Indonesian. The framework evaluates LLMs under both zero-shot and fine-tuned
    conditions, using multilingual and Indonesian monolingual models, with Wikidata
    as the target KB. Our experiments include performance benchmarking, generalization
    analysis across domains, and systematic error analysis. Results show that GPT-4
    and GPT-3.5 achieve the highest accuracy in zero-shot and fine-tuned settings,
    respectively. However, even fine-tuned GPT-3.5 underperforms compared to DBpedia
    Spotlight — the weakest of the traditional model baselines — in the general domain.
    Interestingly, GPT-3.5 outperforms Babelfy in the specific domain. Generalization
    analysis indicates that fine-tuned GPT-3.5 adapts more effectively to cross-domain
    and mixed-domain scenarios. Error analysis uncovers persistent challenges that
    hinder LLM performance: difficulties with non-complete mentions, acronym disambiguation,
    and full-name recognition in formal contexts. These issues point to limitations
    in mention boundary detection and contextual grounding. Indonesian-pretrained
    LLMs, Komodo and Merak, reveal core weaknesses: template leakage and entity hallucination,
    respectively—underscoring architectural and training limitations in low-resource
    end-to-end EL.11Code and dataset are available at https://github.com/dice-group/ELEVATE-ID.'

  text: 'In recent years, there has been a surge in natural language processing research
    focused on low-resource languages (LrLs), underscoring the growing recognition
    that LrLs deserve the same attention as high-resource languages (HrLs). This shift
    is crucial for ensuring linguistic diversity and inclusivity in the digital age.
    Despite Indonesian ranking as the 11th most spoken language globally, it remains
    under-resourced in terms of computational tools and datasets. Within the semantic
    web domain, Entity Linking (EL) is pivotal, linking textual entity mentions to
    their corresponding entries in knowledge bases. This process is foundational for
    advanced information extraction tasks, including relation extraction and event
    detection. To bolster EL research in Indonesian, we introduce IndEL, the first
    benchmark dataset tailored for both general and specific domains. IndEL was manually
    curated using Wikidata, adhering to a rigorous set of annotation guidelines. We
    used two Named Entity Recognition (NER) benchmark datasets for entity extraction:
    NER UI for the general domain and IndQNER for the specific domain. IndQNER focused
    on entities from the Indonesian translation of the Quran. IndEL comprises 4765
    entities in the general domain and 2453 in the specific domain. Using the GERBIL
    framework, we use IndEL to evaluate the performance of various EL systems, such
    as Babelfy, DBpedia Spotlight, MAG, OpenTapioca, and WAT. Our further investigation
    reveals that within Wikidata, a significant number of NIL entities remain unlinked
    due to the limited number of Indonesian labels and the use of acronyms. Especially
    in the specific domain, transliteration and translation processes performed to
    create the Indonesian translation of the Quran contribute to the presence of entities
    in a descriptive form and as synonyms.'

  text: Indonesian is classified as underrepresented in the Natural Language Processing
    (NLP) field, despite being the tenth most spoken language in the world with 198
    million speakers. The paucity of datasets is recognized as the main reason for
    the slow advancements in NLP research for underrepresented languages. Significant
    attempts were made in 2020 to address this drawback for Indonesian. The Indonesian
    Natural Language Understanding (IndoNLU) benchmark was introduced alongside IndoBERT
    pre-trained language model. The second benchmark, Indonesian Language Evaluation
    Montage (IndoLEM), was presented in the same year. These benchmarks support several
    tasks, including Named Entity Recognition (NER). However, all NER datasets are
    in the public domain and do not contain domain-specific datasets. To alleviate
    this drawback, we introduce IndQNER, a manually annotated NER benchmark dataset
    in the religious domain that adheres to a meticulously designed annotation guideline.
    Since Indonesia has the world’s largest Muslim population, we build the dataset
    from the Indonesian translation of the Quran. The dataset includes 2475 named
    entities representing 18 different classes. To assess the annotation quality of
    IndQNER, we perform experiments with BiLSTM and CRF-based NER, as well as IndoBERT
    fine-tuning. The results reveal that the first model outperforms the second model
    achieving 0.98 F1 points. This outcome indicates that IndQNER may be an acceptable
    evaluation metric for Indonesian NER tasks in the aforementioned domain, widening
    the research’s domain range.
