The local response normalization layer performs a kind of "lateral inhibition" by normalizing over local input regions. In `ACROSS_CHANNELS` mode, the local regions extend across nearby channels, but have no spatial extent (i.e., they have shape `local_size x 1 x 1`). In `WITHIN_CHANNEL` mode, the local regions extend spatially, but are in separate channels (i.e., they have shape `1 x local_size x local_size`). Each input value is divided by $$(1 + (\alpha/n) \sum_i x_i)^\beta$$, where $$n$$ is the size of each local region, and the sum is taken over the region centered at that value (zero padding is added where necessary).
