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.

Q: Context: 'I prefer two water and one food. I can understand why you need the extra food items. I'm not much of a snacker but do drink a lot of water all the time. Keeps me from eating more!🙂' 'Lol, it seems it was easy for us to come to a deal!  I'm super bad at drinking water (trying to get better) so I don't feel I'll need as much.  Do you want all of the firewood or should I take one and you take two?  ' 'I don't have a preference on the firewood. You may have two if you like. It's so hot that I don't cherish the idea of a fire BUT it does keep the bugs at bay!🙂'
Utterance: 'Ooh, I didn't think of that!  I'm not a huge fan of fire but I'm even less a fan of bugs.  I'm good with two in that case.  I think we still have to meet the 10 message minimum before we can submit a deal.  So how's your day going?'

A: Yes

Q: Context: '2 packages of both of what?  Water and food?' 'I mean water and food' 'Is food something you need the most of or is it water?'
Utterance: 'I need 2 packages of both food and water on each'

A: No

Q: Context: 'I think that sounds fair. The problem is that there are 3 waters and one of us would get two and the other one. How should we sort that?' 'You can take the two water. I am not that thirsty most days.' 'That's very generous of you!🙂 If you are sure, then I am in agreement. So we are saying, I get 3 firewood, you get 3 food and you get one water while I get two water?'
Utterance: 'Yes, I think that is okay.'

A:
No
