/**
 * A layer for "internal max" for sequence input.
 * Input: one or more sequences. Each sequence contains some instances.
 * If SequenceLevel = kNonSeq:
 *    Output: output size is the number of input sequences (NOT input instances)
 *    output[i] = max_{for each instance in this sequence}{input[i]}
 *    If stride_ > 0:
 *      Output: a shorten sequence. Stride is the step size by which we slide a
 *              window upon the input sequence, and the max pooling operation is
 *              then applied to each interval independently.
 * If SequenceLevel = kSeq:
 *    Check input sequence must has sub-sequence
 *    Output: output size is the number of input sub-sequences
 *    output[i] = max_{for each instance in this sub-sequence}{input[i]}
 *
 * The config file api is pooling_layer.
