Can you explain a bit more ... how do you want them represented?

One technique that's often/sometimes used is to calculate the SVM's W
vector by using the support vectors along with their learned
weights/alphas.

This comes up every now and again. Here's an older post explaining how
you might do that with the svm model from e1071:

Hope that helps.
