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: 'Let's be reasonable here. If you are nice to me I'll be nice to you. I'll take the majority of the wood and food if you want most water.' 'Again don't patronize me.  What is your main focus?' 'Please grow up. No one is patronizing you. I'm trying to negotiate. Don't be so emotional okay?'
Utterance: 'Grow up. 🙂 This was too easy.  Now please answer the question.'

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Context: 'I do love sing alongs around the campfire. I usually go hiking and it requires a lot of energy and fuel. Maybe I can get additional food packages?' 'You'll definitely need some additional calories if you want to do extra hiking.  I will give you all the additional food if you give me all the additional firewood. ' 'Sounds like a deal, maybe split the water packages evenly. Can't be dehyradated while camping 🙂'
Utterance: 'Agreed.  Your fun trip could turn into something quite dangerous without that hydration.  '

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Context: 'Hi friend. 🙂 I'm going camping in the woods near my grandparents cabin. I'm inviting some friends along for a little bit of fun too because they have a guest house and a great field for tents. Would you like to come too? ' 'Oh that sounds awesome. I am actually going camping with my grandparents and my children. So I would love to have 2 firewoods for them. They get cold easily so I would like a little extra to make sure they can stay warm throughout the evening. 🙂' 'Yes, I would love to give you two firewoods! 🙂 My grandparents might check in on us, they like camping. But my grandpa has rheumatic problems so he needs lots of water. Could we take all three?'
Utterance: 'Thank you for the two firewoods. I totally understand that. Since we do have young children I want to make sure they stay hydrated so I would be willing to give you two if I can just have on extra for them.'

SOLUTION:
No
