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 other-need strategy, otherwise output No. other-need is a selfish negotiation strategy. It is used when the participants discuss a need for someone else rather than themselves. For instance, describing the need for firewood to keep the kids warm.
PROBLEM: Context: 'I need water and then firewood' 'You can have all the water if I can have all the extra food' 'OK, but first tell me why you need extra food'
Utterance: 'I have 10 people in my group'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'ok, fair enough.  How about I take 2 firewood as 1 should do you for a couple nights. I also have small children with me and would like to have the fire burning at all times to keep the bugs away. ' 'I really dont see giving up that much of the wood as I cannot risk running out myself. We are camping way too far out to get access to additonal lighting. I tell you what if you will let me have 2 of the fire wood I would be willing to give you two of the food items. I know that racoon probably took your food as well!!' 'Okay that is a deal. I would like 3 water as well because my campsite water is very dirty. I would like to have bottled water to take my medicine with and we forgot to pack it.'
Utterance: 'I may consider 2 waters as we are going to be hiking up the tallest mountain in North Carolina and they say temps may reach 100, I must have some have at minimum of 1 package of water.'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'Yes, how about you! We are headed to Joshua Tree NP to do some rock climbing and hiking. ' 'Ooh rock climbing! I'm definitely scared of heights, so that's out for me. I'm heading to the Puget Sound to camp near the ocean.' 'My wife is from the puget sound. Was just up there a month ago.  I am looking to take the food and water.  We have a large group and will be active.  We will have some hot and dry conditions in the desert. Some are high school age students with big appetites.  What are your preferences.'
Utterance: 'I was definitely looking to have food and firewood most of all. There are plenty of places to collect rainwater and get fresh water in Puget Sound, but we're lacking in food and will need firewood to start a campfire at night.'

SOLUTION:
Yes
