and the new-style NLP are not diametrically
opposed: just as it is possible (and useful!) to
incorporate neural-network features into a CRF,
CRFs have influenced some of the best deep
learning models for sequence labelling

This blog post go through the ways of doing NER, starting with CRF:

- When you develop a CRF,
a lot of time goes into finding feature functions (Does a word start with a capital? Is it uppercase? Is it a digit?...) 
- Pb: semantic similarity between words. 
- Gazetteers: lists with names of people, locations and organizations that are known in advance.
- feed Word Embeddings to a CRF: one way is to cluster a set
of word embeddings by distributional similarity, and
provide the CRF with the cluster IDs of a token and its
context words.
- Use word and character based embeddings
- LSTM not good enough -> biLSTM
- **biLSTM predict all labels independently of each other -> add a CRF layer** which outputs a matrix of transition scores between two states: dynamic programming can help find the optimal tag sequence for the sentence
