TASK DEFINITION: The input is taken from a negotiation between two participants who take the role of campsite neighbors and negotiate for Food, Water, and Firewood packages, based on their individual preferences and requirements. Given an utterance and recent dialogue context containing past 3 utterances (wherever available), output Yes if the utterance contains the small-talk strategy, otherwise output No. small-talk is a cooperative negotiation strategy. It is used for discussing topics apart from the negotiation, in an attempt to build a rapport with the opponent. For example, discussing how the opponent is doing during the pandemic or sharing excitement for the camping trip.
PROBLEM: Context: 'I totally understand! I am in need of food too, but it sounds like you really need it so I am hapy to give you all of the food if I can have all of the firewood?' 'What is your need for water?  I could use some of that, too.' 'I am pretty desperate for water! I tend to get thrisy when camping. Can I have 2 of the water?'
Utterance: 'I could live with that but I'd need to get one firewood.  I don't feel comfortable going with so little water but then also not having any firewood, since that's potentially useful for both food and water.'

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'Hi i'm really excited for camping. I am looking for food and water ' 'Yes, a much needed getaway. Oh my, we need the same provisions! How would you be with receiving two waters, one food package, and two of the firewood?' 'I think I would be able to make that work. What are you looking forward to while camping? '
Utterance: 'Mainly cooking because I love to eat. It will be fun this time because I am leaving the kids at home. I also love swimming if we can find a river or big stream. How about you?'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'I definitely need the food the most. I'm definitely not a "hunter", so if I were to run out, I'd be in pretty sad shape. I do need the firewood for both cooking, and keeping warm. It gets cold at night where we're going. How about youself?' 'Well since we were already given a few supplies before this deal, I was wondering if you could give me all 3 water, and I could give you all the firewood and 2 of the food packages. I only say all the water because we already have some and my medical condition sucks. lol I wish we could camp together! we seem to be a good match. lol! 🙂' 'I wish that too 🙂 And I 100 percent understand the need for water, but I don't know if I can go with only what I have so far. What if I only took 1 water, and you take 2? I hate to take any because I do understand you need it, but I really can't go without any  ☹️'
Utterance: 'Ahhh you are so nice. I like you! Yes I would agree to giving the one water, but then could you have have 2 firewood instead of all of it. and then you can have 2 food packages. that way I dont have to forage all day in the forest for wood! Camping is supposed to be fun not full of work. ha! 🙂 Did you understand that? I am starting to confuse myself. lol!'

SOLUTION:
Yes
