In this episode of Academia Lite, Sean and Zak get into two thought-provoking papers:

- Europe’s legal red-light districts: comparing different models and distilling best practices. Reframing prostitution by Weitzer, R.

- Facebook sentiment: Reactions and emojis. In Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Social Media by Tian, Y., Galery, T., Dulcinati, G., Molimpakis, E., & Sun, C.

Examining the irregular, the surprising and the downright funny of each paper, there is something for the academic in all of us.
