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 self-need strategy, otherwise output No. self-need is a selfish negotiation strategy. It is used to create a personal need for an item in the negotiation, such as by pointing out that the participant sweats a lot to show preference towards water packages.
One example is below.
Q: Context: 'That sounds pretty reasonable as I am in need of firewood the most. Would it be most reasonable to each take what we need most and split the water down the middle?' 'Yes, it would.' '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?'
Utterance: 'You can take the two water. I am not that thirsty most days.'
A: No
Rationale: In this utterance, the participant does not use self-need since they do not talk about any need for themselves.
Q: Context: 'In Arizona, so I know it'll be hot. How about you? ' 'Same! At least, I won't need firewood, because it will be so hot. I'm very worried about the water situation though. It's just going to be me out there and the only fresh water is at the base of the canyon, and that's a really long and dangerous hike down for one person.' 'Well, if you give me 2 firewood and 2 food I will take just one water and you can have 2. I don't want you getting hurt!'
Utterance: 'That could work, but if possible I would like a little more food then, in case I do need to hike to the stream on the last day. I only have a couple of traps with me and those can be unreliable for food. Would it be ok if I take 2 water, 2 food, and 1 firewood?'
A:
Yes
