Personnel: Yoshua Bengio at University of Montreal (Professor of Computer Science)

Verdictconfirmed95%
1 check · 4/9/2026

The source text explicitly states 'Bengio has been a faculty member at the Université de Montréal since 1993' in the Career and research section. This directly confirms all key fields: person (Yoshua Bengio), org (University of Montreal/Université de Montréal), role (faculty member/professor), and startDate (1993). The source also confirms he is 'a professor at the Université de Montréal' in the opening paragraph. The slight variation in organization name (Université de Montréal vs University of Montreal) is a language/translation difference, not a contradiction.
