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: 'Hi! I'm exited to negotiate a deal with you today. How are you doing?' 'I am doing well! Excited to be on this camping trip! I am glad we have all the basic supplies already.'
Utterance: 'Agreed! I am running low on firewood, unfortunately, which I need to cook food and stay warm. '

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'No I cannot do that unfortunately. We brought just enough food for our weekend trip, and I cannot lose any or we will run out before our camping trip is over.' 'OK, just thought I'd ask, so are we settled on you getting 1 Food, 1 firewood and 3 waters?' 'Yes that sounds like it will work for me.'
Utterance: 'Great. Have a good day'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'Yes, that's the plan. By the way, what do you need all that food for? You didn't say. I'm just curious.' 'I'm a bigger guy (6'3") so I eat a lot, especially after activities like hiking and kayaking. Same reason I want water really.' 'OK, that makes sense. I don't eat as much as you do, so it's only fair that you get most of the food. So I hope this deal will be fair for both of us and you'll walk away happy.'
Utterance: 'Yep, I'm happy, hope you are too! 🙂 I think we can enter the deal now.'

SOLUTION:
Yes
