Does the tagger use PoS tags available in the Conll dataset as an input feature for NER ?

What are the input features, apart from the word embeddings, used by the tagger?

It does not use the POS tags, only the words. We tried to use POS tags, it was helpful for Dutch and German, but not so much for English and Spanish.
