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.
Input: Context: 'Alright, I'm sure we can something that works for both of us. The location I'm camping in is only accessible by foot, so I anticipate that I'll need a little more water than normal to feel completely safe. Is there any water source nearby your campsite?' 'Nothing that I would trust. Additionally, I have a dog that will need water as well.' 'Oh well that is something to consider. I love dogs. 🙂. I'd be willing to take less in that case, and let you have 2 of the waters. Would you be OK with leaving me with 1? I'd be willing to split the food up the same way (you get 2, I get 1).'
Utterance: 'That works. I know water is important. I promise I won't be using it to water plants or wash clothes!'
Output:
Yes
