LeCun's Collège de France lectures were taught in French and later dubbed in English.
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
Judge as of 2016-07-28. True: Collège de France records or its official video pages show that LeCun's 2015–2016 Collège de France lectures were delivered in French and that English-dubbed versions were produced (by the claim date or as part of the release that the claim announces). Mostly true: they were given in French and English versions exist, but by a different method (e.g. subtitled rather than dubbed, or only some lectures). Mixed: they were given in French but only a small portion has any English version. Mostly false: they were given in French but no English version was produced, or English versions came only through informal third-party subtitles. False: the lectures were delivered in English.

“Deep learning courses taught by Yann LeCun. English and French are provided.”
Reasoning
E2 is a Collège de France document with a French course title ("Cours – L'apprentissage profond"), but it does not say what language the lectures were given in. E1 only says the English version of the Collège de France website is machine-translated, which is not about the lectures. E3 is an undated third-party list saying English and French versions exist, but it does not say how the English versions were made or when. No official record shows that the lectures were given in French or that dubbed English versions existed by 2016-07-28, so the criteria cannot be applied.
