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: 'OK, but first tell me why you need extra food' 'I have 10 people in my group' 'I see. I need more water because I came across some people who were lost and they are very dehydrated.'
Utterance: 'I need 2 firewood because it gets below freezing at night'

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'HI. I'd love to get 2 additional packs of firewood. The weather forecast was for much warmer weather here and I just didn't bring enough with me. I also left my additional sweatshirt at home. I'd be happy to give you one additional water and two of food.  🙂🙂' 'Well I had a really great day fishing today and I would like to have some extra firewood so I can cook all of this fish.  How about I take the 3 packages of firewood and you can keep 2 additional food packages in return.'
Utterance: 'You really did have a good day didn't you! Sounds like fun. How many fish can one person eat? If I don't have the extra firewood I'm going to be really cold tonight. ☹️'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'I could really use some extra firewood!' 'So could I. How about we split the firewood?' 'How about I take 2 firewood but you can have 2 waters? Water is pretty important and I have a little extra.'
Utterance: 'That sounds fair.'

SOLUTION:
No
