Artificial intelligence algorithms can successfully extract complex concepts from back pain literature. While use of AI algorithms to discover potentially unknown word associations requires future validation, our results provide investigators with a novel tool to generate new hypotheses regarding the origins of LBP and other spine related topics. To encourage use of these tools, we have created a free web-based app for investigator-driven queries.
