Personnel: Yann LeCun at New York University (Silver Professor of Computer Science)
1 evidence check
Last checked: 4/4/2026
The record claims Yann LeCun holds the title 'Silver Professor of Computer Science' at NYU, but the source explicitly states he is the 'Jacob T. Schwartz Professor of Computer Science' at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU. These are different professorial titles. The source does not mention 'Silver Professor' anywhere. Additionally, the source does not provide a specific start date of 2003 for his NYU position, so that claim is unverifiable from this source, but the title contradiction is clear and direct.
