In my tests, it's proven to be faster and more accurate than some of the existing monitoring systems. But, of course, there's always room for improvement.

As a machine learning enthusiast, I'd like to know what methods were used for real-time data analysis and earthquake prediction. Could the codebase be open-sourced?

We used a combination of machine learning algorithms to analyze data in real-time, and I plan to open-source the project soon. Thanks for the interest!

Start with the seismo-live project: https://github.com/lvds/seismo-live. Then check out the USGS for comprehensive seismic resources, such as https://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/comcat/.
