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: 'I understand, but I don't need any extra firewood.  You could have 2 food, 3 firewood, and 1 water?🙂' 'Well I am going to have to think about this deal. Perhaps I can contact my friend and see if he can get some extra water. He is a big eater so the food may come in handy. ' 'That would make things better for me.  '
Utterance: 'Can I ask you why you need so much water for one person? '

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'Hi there, good to connect with you. How are you today?'
Utterance: 'I am good, thank you.  What are your preferences? I really need the extra food packages.  We are doing a lot of hiking and mountain biking and there are no grocery stores for at least 50 miles.🙂'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'I'm afraid that will not work for me. I have hypothyroidism, so I am intolerant to cold temperatures. I was also planning on taking a swim in the river. I would prefer to take two firewood & one food package, & you may have the three waters, two food packages, & one firewood.' 'I'm afraid I also have need of the firewood. I have anaemia so i get cold easily so I need to make sure I have adequate firewood or i may freeze at night. I also have a thin clothing so they wont provide adequate warmth. How about all of my water and 2 food for all of the firewood?' 'Seeing as we both have a medical-necessity for the firewood, it's rather unfair that either one of us take ALL of the firewood. I felt that I was being rather generous with my previous offer.'
Utterance: 'you are right we both need the wood, how about i give 1 wood, all of my water and 2 food and you give 2 wood and 1 food?'

SOLUTION:
No
