TASK DEFINITION: Given the prompt and a response, classify the them to "yes" if response is "yes, and" type. Otherwise classify it as "no". "Yes, and" is a rule-of-thumb in improvisational comedy that suggests that a participant in a dialogue should accept what another participant has stated ("Yes") and then expand on that line of thought or context ("and..."). 1 In short, a "Yes, and" is a dialogue exchange in which a speaker responds by adding new information on top of the information/setting that was constructed by another speaker. Note that a "Yes, and" does not require someone explicitly saying 'yes, and...' as part of a dialogue exchange, although it could be the case if it agrees with the description above. There are many ways in which a response could implicitly/explicitly agree to the prompt without specifically saying 'yes, and...'.

PROBLEM: Prompt: To be honest, I did not think about the amount of knife work that would be required and these bandages keep getting wet so I have to keep stopping and changing them. 
 Response: Rodney, let me stop you right there. Here's what I think the issue is. It's not that you didn't learn anything in cooking school, because you clearly did. I think it's that you always seem to have just woken up. Were you just asleep just now?

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Prompt: You know, it's funny. I grew up in Naval Base and they always thought it was Tine.

SOLUTION:
no
