  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.
