InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
They still talk about Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) in quite a bit of detail in the sequence labelling chapter, but you are quite right, Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) and especially neural network based CRFs are in the top rankings when it comes to named entity recognition (NER) and part-of-speech tagging (POS), e.g. see https://github.com/jiesutd/NCRFpp.
