The automatic speaker indexing consists in splitting the signal into homogeneous segments and clustering them by speakers. However the speaker segments are specified with anonymous labels. This paper propose to identify those speakers by extracting their full names pronounced in the show. With a semantic classification tree, the full names detected in the segment transcription are associated to this segment or to one of its neighbors. Then, a merging method associates a full name to a speaker cluster instead of the anonymous label. The experiments are carried out over French broadcast news from the ESTER 2005 evaluation campaign. About 70% show duration is correctly processed for the evaluation corpus.
