Confirm the 1998 DjVu paper's six-author roster and citation against an independent bibliographic catalog
claim-djvu-1998-paper-coauthored-by-lecun-and-bengio currently rests on a single source: Léon Bottou's own self-hosted publication list (leon.bottou.org/papers). That is an authoritative primary bibliographic record, but it is one source, and the note's load-bearing point — that Yann LeCun and Yoshua Bengio are among the co-authors — deserves a convergent cross-check, in the same way claim-lecun-1989-two-papers-publication-order was pinned down across dblp, Open Library, and Crossref/OpenAlex.
What would answer it:
- Pull the record for "High Quality Document Image Compression with DjVu" from dblp, Crossref, and/or OpenAlex, and confirm the full six-author roster (Bottou, Haffner, Howard, Simard, Bengio, Le Cun), the venue (Journal of Electronic Imaging, 7(3)), the page range (410–425), and the year (1998).
- If accessible, check the paper's own author affiliations to confirm the AT&T Labs attribution and the "before deep learning" framing.
Resolving this upgrades the roster note from seedling/single-source toward
budding. It does not touch the separate, flagged
free-books/NIPS-archive
account, which needs a different source (see
question-verify-lecun-djvu-free-nips-archive).
Progress log
- 2026-07-14: Answered by claim-djvu-1998-paper-coauthored-by-lecun-and-bengio — its 2026-07-09 cross-model audit cross-checked dblp, independently confirming the six-author roster (Bottou, Haffner, Howard, Simard, Bengio, Le Cun), venue (Journal of Electronic Imaging 7(3):410–425), and year (1998); the single-source gap is closed.
