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: 
Utterance: 'Hello!'

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'I completely understand, thank you for compromising with water and food. Wished we had 4 firewoods to divide and share it equaly, may I ask how long will you be camping for? Im afraid I need 2 firewoods as well, maybe we can see who has the greater need? ' 'I am going to be camping for a couple of weeks, so I will need quite a bit. I also realized some additional water would be good, because I have some meals that need me to boil water. Maybe you can have 2 firewood in exchange for me having one of your waters? Then you would still have plenty of water, but also plenty of firewood 🙂' 'So sorry, I just realized you did not agree to the 3 waters in exchange of 3 foods. if you want a water, i will also will need one food. just to make things more fair on my end. If not i am looking at 2 waters, 0 foods, and 1 firewood. But i am willing to compromise for 3 waters, 1 firewood, and 0 foods. and you'll get 3 foods, 2 firewoods, and 0 waters, what do you think?'
Utterance: ' I appreciate your willingness to discuss this, so we both get a fair deal. I would really like if I get 3 food, 1 water, and 1 firewood. Then you would get 2 water and 2 firewood. You said that you really need water and food, so I think that would work best for both of us to get what we need most. What do you think? 🙂'

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'For you?' 'yes. I am yet to know your priority. Which I guess should be either water or firewood' 'That deal is not favorable for me'
Utterance: 'Feel free to counter, but I'm not loving anything that I've gotten so far.'

SOLUTION:
No
