NoteThe source confirms all major elements of the claim: (1) PhD in Computer Science from Université Pierre et Marie Curie in 1987 ✓; (2) Diplôme d'Ingénieur from ESIEE Paris ✓; (3) PhD advisor Maurice Milgram ✓; (4) postdoc at University of Toronto with Geoffrey Hinton ✓. The only minor discrepancy is that the source states the ESIEE degree was received in 1983, while the claim does not specify a year for that degree. This is not a contradiction—the claim is simply less specific. All verifiable facts in the claim are confirmed by the source.
