According to an example, a hybrid synaptic architecture based neural network may be implemented by determining, from input data, information that is to be recognized, mined, and/or synthesized by a plurality of analog neural cores. Further, the hybrid synaptic architecture based neural network may be implemented by determining, based on the information, selected ones of the plurality of analog neural cores that are to be actuated to identify a data subset of the input data to generate, based on the analysis of the data subset, results of the recognition, mining, and/or synthesizing of the information.
