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: 'hello!' 'Hi how are you today? '
Utterance: 'am fine and you?'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'I have the same needs. I have a low metabolism, so I need food and firewood to keep me warm and energized. Water I plan on filtering elsewhere.' 'Ok, well, I'd like to help. How about if I take 2 food and 1 firewood and 2 water, and you can keep the rest?' 'Would you mind if you got 3 food and 1 water and I got 3 firewood and 2 water?'
Utterance: 'I'd like some firewood though... Would 3 food and 1 firewood for me work?'

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'I am so excited to go camping!  I am planning a nice long walk in the woods to decompress from the hectic days of working.' 'I am too.  I've been thinking of this since COVID.  I hear we have some materials to share between the two of us.  What are you thinking?  For me, I am from the South so I get cold easily 🙂 so firewood is my main priority.' 'Perfect!  I'm a northerner, so the firewood is all yours!  I'll need lot's of water to keep hydrated after the hike, and I'll probably be pretty hungry too.'
Utterance: 'My spouse calls me a water buffalo so I'm pretty water dependent if you couldn't tell.  '

SOLUTION:
No
