Tfjs: Retrain image detection with MobileNet for use in TFjs, failure in tensorflowjs_converter

[serv-inc]

TensorFlow.js version

'1.0.1'
(retrain.py did not work with tf-nightly-2.0, so that was run with '1.13.1 ('v1.13.1-0-g6612da8951')'. Installing tensorflowjs-converter then installed tf-nightly-2.0-preview-2.0.0.dev20190509)

Browser version

Describe the problem or feature request

Both tutorials at https://www.tensorflow.org/hub/tutorials/image_retraining and
https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/images/hub_with_keras about retraining a model mention but do not describe conversion to mobile models. Yet, conversion using tensorflowjs_converter failed in every attempt. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55849309/retrain-image-detection-with-mobilenet mentions two attempts by me as well as questions by others with the same problem.

Hi @serv-inc
I encountered the same problem and it seems that we use the wrong method.
There are loadGraphModel for TF converted models and loadLayersModel for Keras ones
