UCIPT develops tools to analyze these data to inform public and private sector efforts to solve real-world problems.

An example of work in this area is AsterixDB, which grew out of a collaborative grant awarded by the National Science Foundation to UC Irvine professor and UCIPT member Michael Carey.

Biomedical applications, primarily to uncover hidden patterns and correlations within big data, are also being undertaken by UCIPT researchers.

Applications to solve real-world problems UCIPT researchers have developed platforms to analyze social media data that allow real-time predictions about future events (e.g., crime).
