Research direction
Review the referenced paper on global average pooling and examine existing pooling implementations in cortex, such as max pooling layers. Look for prior discussions or PRs related to this feature. Reach out to @benkamphaus or maintainers for clarification on desired API and integration details. Consider the trade offs between implementing as a new layer versus modifying existing pooling layers.
