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: 'Yes, I am! I can't wait. I'm going on a 3 week trip to this gorgeous lake.' 'Wow, 3 weeks is a long camping trip! I don't know if I have enough supplies to go for a trip that long. Are you doing a cabin-style or really roughing it? My husband and son want to do a lot of hiking so we're thinking of moving camp daily.' 'that's awesome! I know, I'm a little worried about my food supplies but I think I can figure everything else out. No, we're roughing it, my boyfriend's huge on camping.'
Utterance: 'Lol, at least it sounds like you've got an expert with you. My husband is really gung-ho but he tends to fly by the edge of his seat when it comes to stuff like planning. He's says he wants to travel light and that he got these water filter straws so that we could drink lake water but I'm super sketched out... I don't want us getting something like schistosomiasis. And I want to make sure everyone stays hydrated with all of the hiking they want to do'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'No they don't ☹️ She is starting to eat a few solid food items. So if I had some extra food that would help. I think if I had 2 waters, 2 food, and 1 firewood to be able to cook and keep things clean I would have enough. ' 'I can give you 2 waters, but I would need all the food because my group is bigger. You can have two firewood.' 'I would need at least 1 food. '
Utterance: 'I could give you one food, but I would need to have 2 waters to make my food last by making soup.'

SOLUTION: No
