Teacher: 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.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Context: 'Great!  So looks like all the water goes to you.  I will take all the food if that is ok and we can split the wood.  ' 'Well i would need one food and one wood' 'OK.  I think that will work out for me.  You get 3 water, 1 wood and 1 food.  I will take the rest.'
Utterance: 'Great that's an agreement for me'
Solution: No
Reason: The participant does not engage in any small talk in this utterance and primarily refers to the negotiation itself.

Now, solve this instance: Context: 'i am an avid water drinker. i can afford to give you 2 water for three firewood though' 'I have alot of children, and those little rascals can chug water like there is no tomorrow, will you allow me to get the 3 waters and you can have 2 firewood and and 3 foods, what do you think?' 'i need the firewood because i tend to catch a cold easily and also scared of the dark. i can give you 2 water and 2 food for 3 firewood and i food'
Utterance: 'will you allow me to get 3 waters and you can have the 3 firewood and 2 foods? 🙂'
Student:
No
