This paper reports on an analysis of the CLEF 2001 topics. In particular, we investigated potential correlations between features of the topics and the performance of retrieval systems. Although there are some weak relations, we claim that the properties of the CLEF topics do not influence the results of the retrieval systems. We found just one correlation for the English topics. The more linguistic challenges contained in the topic texts, the better the systems performed. However, no correlation for the length of a topic could be found. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
