The final lecture of the previous semester's Deep Learning course has been posted online.
Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
What would count as true or false
Judged as of 29 September 2020. True: by that date, the final lecture of the NYU Deep Learning course from the previous semester (Spring 2020, taught by LeCun and Canziani) had been posted publicly online, for example on YouTube or the course website. Mostly true: it was posted, but a minor detail differs (for example, it was posted a few days after the statement, or the semester is labelled slightly differently). Mostly false: only part of the final lecture, or only slides or notes without the lecture, were available by that date. False: records such as YouTube upload dates or the course site show the final lecture was not posted until well after that date, or never.

E7 NYU Deep Learning Week 9 – Lecture: Group sparsity, world model, and GANs DSAI by Dr. Osbert Tay (YouTube channel) · 15 July 2020
“Published: Jul 15, 2020”
Reasoning
E1, E3 and E4 confirm that the course website exists for NYU DS-GA 1008, Spring 2020, and that it lists an entry numbered 15.2. None of these pages is dated, so they don't show when the final lecture was posted. E7 shows only a third-party re-upload of the Week 9 lecture in July 2020. E5 and E6 say the whole course was online by December 2020, which is after the judge-as-of date. No evidence shows whether the final lecture was public by 29 September 2020.
