Research direction
Examine the existing implementation of 'cortex.nn.layers/convolutional' in the cortex source code. Look at how TensorFlow implements 'SAME' and 'VALID' padding in tf.nn.conv2d. Propose adding a :padding option to the convolutional layer that accepts :same or :valid. Check if there are any existing discussions or PRs addressing this. Consider adapting the padding logic from TensorFlow's approach.
