NoteThe record claims Yann LeCun holds the title 'Silver Professor of Computer Science' at NYU starting in 2003. The source confirms he joined NYU in 2003 and confirms his affiliation with the Courant Institute at New York University. However, the source consistently refers to his title as 'Jacob T. Schwartz Professor' or 'Jacob T. Schwartz Chaired Professor', NOT 'Silver Professor'. The start date of 2003 is confirmed, and the organization (NYU) is confirmed, but the specific title in the record does not match the source material. This is a partial confirmation with a significant discrepancy in the job title.
