YouTube unveils smart topics and Google TV Remote.

YouTube showed off a new test feature that auto categorizes all of its videos as well as YouTube Remote, an Android app that allows users to control the Google TV YouTube app from a phone.

YouTube plans to start helping its users differentiate between ‘funny’ and ‘stupid funny.’ Tomorrow, the Google-owned site will begin organizing its millions of videos into automatic categories called “topics” on itsTestTube labs site. The new topics are constructed from a complex analysis of comments, emedding, and other viewing patterns. YouTube hopes topics will help users more effectively perform general video searches.

“People don’t know what to search for because they don’t know what’s there,” said Palash Nandy, an engineer at YouTube, at a media briefing. “We’re really creating a language of discovery.”
