It's always nice to know that your masters programme requires more of you in just an exam (building a Relation Extraction pipeline including POS tagging and a NER system). Having said that, it's been shown pretty well that CRF's outperform the Stanford Parser with simple features (it can get even better with better features - particularly for organisations), which also beat out HMM's but it could be interesting to see how neural networks would do.
