NoteQUA-650 retro-scan: The source is a biography of Yoshua Bengio himself, not about the University of Montreal. While the source confirms Bengio's affiliation with Université de Montréal, the primary subject is the person (Yoshua Bengio), not the institution. Per QUA-648, a source about a person cannot verify claims about an organization as the primary subject.
