To express $P(y | x, w)$ in terms of $P(x, y | w)$, we can use Bayes' theorem. According to Bayes' theorem:

$P(y | x, w) = \frac{P(x, y | w)}{P(x | w)}$

Here's a breakdown:

1. $P(y | x, w)$ is the conditional probability of $y$ given $x$ and $w$.

2. $P(x, y | w)$ is the joint probability of $x$ and $y$ given $w$.

3. $P(x | w)$ is the marginal probability of $x$ given $w$, which can be found by summing or integrating over all possible values of $y$ in $P(x, y | w)$:

   $P(x | w) = \sum_{y} P(x, y | w) \quad \text{or} \quad P(x | w) = \int P(x, y | w) \, dy$

Thus, the full expression for $P(y | x, w)$ is:

$P(y | x, w) = \frac{P(x, y | w)}{\sum_{y} P(x, y | w)} \quad \text{or} \quad P(y | x, w) = \frac{P(x, y | w)}{\int P(x, y | w) \, dy}$
