Here's my try:

The paper proposes a novel zero-resource, pre-detection method named SELF-FAMILIARITY for preventing hallucination attacks on large language models. The proposed approach mimics human self-assessment capabilities by refraining from discussing unfamiliar concepts, thereby reducing the risk of creating hallucinated information. This method sets it apart from conventional post-detection techniques. Initially, the Concept Extraction stage extracts and processes concept entities from the instruction. Following this, the Concept Guessing stage individually examines the extracted concepts through prompt engineering to obtain each concept’s familiarity score. Lastly, during the Aggregation stage, the familiarity scores from different concepts are combined to generate the final instruction-level familiarity score.
The proposed SELF-FAMILIARITY algorithm integrates the strengths of both CoT techniques and parameter-based methods. It is proactive and preventative, unaffected by instruction style and type, and does not require any outside knowledge. The authors assessed their method across four large language models using a newly proposed pre-detection hallucinatory instruction classification dataset, Concept-7.
