The source confirms the PhD in Computer Science from Université Pierre et Marie Curie in 1987, the Diplôme d'Ingénieur from ESIEE Paris, Maurice Milgram as PhD advisor, and the postdoc at University of Toronto with Geoffrey Hinton. However, the source states the Diplôme d'Ingénieur was received in 1983, not just 'ESIEE Paris' without a date as in the claim. The claim is incomplete regarding the diploma date but not contradicted—it simply omits this detail.
