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: 'What type of place are you thinking of going camping to? Like what is the climate/area? More desert or forest, etc?' 'Forest, for sure. Deserts have scorpions and tarantulas and I'm scared of those.' 'Amen! Me too! 🙂 I too was thinking of going to the forest. Is your forest going to be wet or pretty dry?'
Utterance: 'It'll be pretty dry. I don't want to catch a cold. '

A: Yes

A:
Yes
