We used to determine the block size by a fixed sensible value. But there were some use cases like #2071, that this value wasn't the best fit. So, I have attempted to expose the configuration of the block size in the neural network applet.
There are at least two important factors when determining the block size. Tiling artifacts caused by normalization issues from the model (relevant PR), and hardware constraints e.g. GPU memory usage.
Another example of tiling artifacts:

The current PR doesn't address the hardware constraints issue. It is possible to use a very large shape that can lead to an out of memory exception. Then the user should attempt to choose a smaller shape. But this process maybe shouldn't eventually be exposed to the user at all?
