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: 'Not really! I will need you to give me 3 food, 2 water and 2 firewood.' 'Yea, that's not going to work for me. That would leave me with NO food, and only 1 water, and 1 firewood. Would you take that deal, if I offered it back to you?' 'Ok what will work for you?'
Utterance: 'I really need at least some of everything. What do you need the most?'

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'Hello. I'm going to do a lot of hiking on my camping trip and need as much water as possible. I'm also planning a bonfire with fellow campers in the area, so I'd like as much firewood as possible. How about I keep the water and firewood and you keep the food?' 'That doesn't work for me. I will also need extra water because I drink a lot. How about we start by saying you get the firewood, and I'll take the food?' 'OK, but how do we split up the water? Because it sounds like we both need some. What if you take all the food and I take all the firewood and then I get two waters and you get one extra?'
Utterance: 'I would prefer to have 2 waters since I agreed to give you all the firewood.'

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'Hi!  I am excited to go camping!  I would love to get 3 extra food and 3 water since we will be canoe camping and won't be able to purchase more.  ' 'I am going camping too.  May I ask where you are going canoe camping?'
Utterance: 'We are going to camp in Oregon.  We are looking forward to it.  The views and scenery should be gorgeous.  How about you?'

SOLUTION:
Yes
